Again, stupid tripe pouring off my fingers. I never thought that
if some unprivileged user (identified in the sudoers file as having
root access) leaves his terminal, for just a short length of time
without locking the keyboard, would be bad news. Anyone could just
walk up and become root.

So, Dan, you're right in that it has it's weaknesses.
