        Well, that's the point of root vs. admin.  The issue is whether to have
access via *telnet* as opposed to SSH.  Considering that there are Java
SSH applets available, I don't see much (if any) need for root access
via telnet.  Perhaps, though, it would be good to include one of those
SSH applets in the e-smith distro...
