Since ncsu!fostel decided to publish the irresponsible food-for-thought
for bypassing unix permission codes, it's time for everyone to implement
some increased protection.  May I suggest a main course of 
a setuid root program to set/clear flag (1 per user) which
enables/disables the user from setting setuid(setgid) bits 
"on his own"?  Program requires input from actual terminal device, etc.
