Most of the machines in the lab did. Before I had my clearance, I went
into the lab (under escort) with a notebook, and I took notes, mainly on
managing the V-CLass. The startup procedure for a 64 node system is
quite slow, so if one did not shut down properly it takes forever. Also,
since the unclassified servers were in the same room as the classified
lab, someone could easily record data on a floppy, and insert it into the
unclassified test station floppy drive, then leave the lab, log into the test
station, and read the floppy.
The issue is not really root access, but the protection of assets and
secrets. We must understand that many of our personal work habits
compromise these on a daily basis.
