	And that is a good thing... I certainly don't want someone coming
along who dosen't know what they're doing and 'fixing' my configuration
files. I've spent too much time and sweat getting things working to have
to do it all over. It's not a matter of 'the bosses want to restrict who's
doing what,' It's a matter of 'I'm not going to spend that time again to
fix the problem you created and that is causing us downtime.'
