No I meant full access to just obe of guest partitions. E.g. FTP may be
using separate partition and non-admins may have control over it. If system
has some kind of automatic user creation and /home is separate someone may
register as boot or grub and put grub.xen in his directory. If /tmp is on
separate partition and not in RAM then everybody can put grub.xen to
/tmp/grub/grub.xen
