Hi. I applaud your desire to help make the system more easy to
use/administer. But I think your effort is misguided. Wouldn't it
be better to locate the annoying places that require superuser privilege
and help make these tasks easier? File enhancment/feature bugs on
the offending applications, rather than offer ill advised guidance
on reducing the overall security of the system.
