This used to be, incidentally, a common way to hide programs from
users in Unix. The sysadmin would put Programs Not Meant To Be Used By
Mortals in /usr or /usr1, which was always mounted in multi-user mode.
They couldn't even FIND the programs. (Unless, of course, they'd cracked
root already and ran fsdb, but then it was a moot point, wasn't it?)
