Yes, I can understand the rationale as above - if it is somebody's laptop.
Or someone's home computer. But it is arguable if it is centrally managed
workstation. This ability to screw settings up is a pain for sysadmin if
this workstation sits on common area (like library) and multiple users can
access that, and even if it is workstation that is basically a single user
one, but has to be managed centrally. I rest my case. Basically, all _I_
said on this sidetracked thread should be treated as enclosed into "rant"
tags ;-)
