This is why you have identity squashing and/or strong security: to stop
the CLIENT administrator impersonating whoever he wants and working
around your security measures.
Yes there's all the FUD about how the administrator can still take over
your RPCSEC_GSS creds and/or read cached data once you have logged in.
If you log into a compromised client then you're screwed. What's new?
