This actually could be a dangerous way to implement a system... don't rely
on the
skilled staff to stop a hack. Given a regular user account on an NT domain..
there can be many things that can be done to hack a system... being
especially problematic if there are resources (customer info.. billing
info... etc) on that same network.
