Also init scripts often allow non-root daemons to have access to the same tty 
that is used for the sysadmin shell.  That means if an attacker can compromise 
a daemon at startup (EG replace programs it runs at start before detaching 
from the tty) then they can push characters into the root keyboard buffer.
