But when I run it, I'm not necessarily doing it because I'm administering a machine; sometimes I'm doing it because I'm looking at a network trace to see why either my code, or some code somebody else developed that's communicating over the network with my code, isn't working. Therefore it's not an administrative task. > A normal user can legitimately compile code, e.g. a software developer > might certainly do that regularly.
