Robert Heinlein, in his book, "Starship Troopers" raises the issue of what to do to prevent insurrection. "If you make the wolves the guardians of the sheep, it will turn them into sheep dogs."
Yeah, that's how we got Papa Doc Duvalier and the military dictatorships of too many countries to name. If you make the wolves into guardians of the sheep, you've made it even easier for the wolves to prey on the sheep. Ob. Bug: The System V vendor(s) who shipped both / and /etc with mode 777.
