It is against the law here in some situations (users working for a company
have certain rights, even on work machines).

Furthermore it is a very sincere security problem if I'm a user and not
at the same time the only one with root access. I can't use any passwords
or public keys on such a machine.

I know this could be a kernel option and kernels with this option could
note this prominently in uname (just an example) - I wanted to point
out that this is a very sharp two sided sword. Be carefull with that axe,
Eugene!
