Really? *really*? From a graphical environment? Not everyone uses a
console terminal for everything.

I do... but most don't.

And if you *really* cared about security you'd be logging everyone's
commands to remote syslog servers over an encrypted connection. ***

Why even point this out... its not what they asked. The peep is probably
annoyed that they can't just edit the file in the first place and you'd
have them use a command line?

Meh.
