Apologies but you missed my point. What I was trying to say was that it is
only a matter of time before the user or a helpful "friend" comes along and
restarts a service. The system is then compromised - instantly. bang goes
your 'secure' system.
Despite what you do and what you tell them, they _will_ log in as
Administrator to do everyday tasks.
If you leave the security in the hands of the user, the system _will_ be
compromised. Everyday I visit client sites. On all but the most secure, I
could walk up to any person at random and ask them their network password
and they would tell me.
