This is true. I prefer to strongly de-emphasize the extent to which I've root-kitted all my clients boxes. Going behind the admin's back to do some administrative operation you dreamed up doesn't endear one. I once used TSM to get myself an Xterm on a box for which the root password had been lost. Even when I was coming to aid in an emergency, the looks were ... thoughtful. If this were an IBM-supplied, IBM-approved analysis tool, then it would at least not be 4000 admins cobbling together 4000 different ways to extract the information and inflicting them on an unawares population. - Allen S.
