As long as you can disable/limit the logging. One very nasty "attack" would be to loop trying to run a binary. Blow your logging partition. Somebody could then use that to do other things that would normally be logged, safe in the
knowledge that their activities wouldn't be logged.

I've seen systems brought to their knees by similar well intentioned logging
activities.  It's not pretty :)

    That's out of the question, of course :)

A sysctl could control it. Anyway, the same can happen with zillions of logged events.
