Varun Kashyap, the author, made it pretty clear this was to prevent would-be family and friend would-be gurus from messing where you don't want messing. It's certainly not to prevent a knowledgeable cracker from getting in. 2.He also made it fairly clear to do some intelligent backups before getting in to this. Nice job... Two comments:
