What if you have a couple dozen guest accounts? (I plan to keep their 
shells set to /sbin/nologin except when the guests are here -- and also 
to keep the machines they're on shutdown and physically disconnected from 
the Net most of the time except when guests are present. I don't *think* 
it'll be much of a risk that way ...)
