This is not useful to use things like rsync or scp/sftp to transfer files maintaining permissions/attributes/etc.. for doing quick local testing, development, or other ephemeral things this option is reasonable and there is no need to remove it. And also to run commands it is not great, if you end up using su/sudo without password, then you just made a process more complicated without adding much if any security. > > Rich. > > > > -- > > Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat > > http://people.redhat.com/~rjones > > Read my programming and virtualization blog: > > http://rwmj.wordpress.com > > virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines.
