It's always fun to see how competing developer opinions work out, like
someone writing the passwd program to not accept piped input because
he had 'good reasons', then someone else writing expect so a script
could push input through a pty as a workaround, making things much more
complicated than necessary. Is there a similarly warped workaround for
people who only log in to do operations that must be done as root or do
they just avoid KDE?
