You mean, since all flink would do is let you create an accessible path to a
file that you didn't previously have a accessible path to, you can't see how
any of this applies?  Strange.

"Since all setuid(0) does is clear a few bits somewhere, I can't see how a
discussion of the consequences of letting anyone do so applies."
