Hi

A friend just asked me this question and I got curious. say I'm equipped with a 
linux laptop and some knowledge, I can walk into a company that uses NIS, find 
out the settings (NISDOMAIN, free ip address, etc...) and join their domain. 
now I can login as root on my computer, su to any user and see/change/delete 
his files. is it that easy?

of-course, administrators should protect their mounts with netgroups 
permissions, and users should protect their important files with encryption, 
but how many of these you see?

any ideas? suggestions?

Bye
