> To enforce the accessibility of job files to only the job-owner and the 
> TaskTracker, as per MAPREDUCE-842, it is _trusted_ that the  setuid/setgid 
> linux TaskController binary is group owned by a _special group_ to which only 
> TaskTracker belongs and not just any group to which TT belongs. If the trust 
> is broken, possibly due to misconfiguration by admins, the local files become 
> accessible to unintended users, yet giving false sense of security to the 
> admins.
