Isn't it generally accepted that black hats who get local access (ie., a user login account) is _much_ worse than black hats who've been kept out? Assuming black hat wants root, taking over a user's account is a very big first step. I would take the security of your user's accounts much more seriously if I were you. If your users are leaving the door open, sooner or later someone much worse than the paper boy is going to come stumbling in. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
