That's not entirely true.  I had placed my roomate's login id in my .rhosts file so that he 
could transfer files to me using rcp instead of ftp.  some IS sysadmin  spotted it and 
sent me an email saying I needed to show up at UCIS with my student card or my IS
account would be deactivated.  He also renamed my .rhosts file so my roomie couldn't get into my 
account anymore (which hardly mattered anyway, because the account in the .rhosts file was an 
old UG accountfrom last year that was no longer active)


My point is that you might be suprised to find that UCIS actually does some policing and policy 
enforcement-- at least sporadically.
