In no-way is it spam. Consider it a 'test'imonial to others that may ask=20
that question in the future ;)

Tip: Quick way to lock your system down to only root: ( chmod g=3D / )=20
***Emergency Use Only**** "molly guard not present" "slippery when throbbed"

Side effect of that is its not really nice for processes=20
that run with lower privileges and isn't always apparent why things are=20
not working correctly so its best to just use nologin or drop to SU.=20

--=20
