I call you sudo because you are neither UNIX nor MAC. The moment you raise
issues about security and all that UNIX paranoia, you should get out of
pre-press. Work-Flow depends on just that, open flow of ideas.
Did you try what I said first. Then look at you security. Its a work-flow
issue, first, security second.
