Is hcp/vmcp anymore sensitive in a class G (or less) linux service virtual machine than 'shutdown -h now'? Does anyone really let untrusted users have root access in production service virtual machines?
Untrusted users may still issue cp commands, if the admin of the guest machine lets them do that. sudo is the tool of choice to allow user "tapeman" to attach and detach his tape drive while keeping him from all the other stuff one can do with the cp command interface.
