There are a bunch of very good issues raised. In an engineering
environment, the engineer frequently needs to test on his/her own
system. Many times there is a need for the engineer to have thew ability
reconfigure the system as necessary without bothering the system
admin people. Outside of this environment, there is usually no need for
users to have special priviledges. The issue should be "if you modify a
system, you must take responsibility for that".
