Oh yes, those damn /bin programs that are so nasty. Or /usr/ucb, I hear
those are really security risks too.

This is a viable command. If you want to inherit another user's
characteristics, you use su [-] [username]. Granted, most of the
time it's used to become superuser, but still. I suppose you're
going to gripe about the fact that rlogin is enabled, as well?
I suggest you read man pages before going off on the security or
your perceived notion of the lack thereof of a specific site. As
it is, AZStarnet looks very secure. (Let's hope that Bob has made
/tmp sticky, though.)
