Actually, if you read it carefully it says "Discourage Public Servers."  This
turns off the switches in Preferences, but you can still do a dwrite to turn
it on (taking effect after you log out and back in again).  If the SysAdmin
at your site puts in a loginhook that does a dwrite System PublicWindowServer
OFF and a dwrite System PublicSoundServer OFF, THEN the public servers are
pretty much disabled.  The sound one definitely is, and if anyone can
guarantee that no user can write a program that turns on the Public Window
Server, then the PWS is disabled too.

(make sure you su $1 dwrite... else you'll be doing it to root's defaults
database since login hooks run as root)

Resisting temptation is easier when you think you'll probably get
another chance later on.
