-Sometimes a few of the users try to hold total power over all the

|
|
-seize power by changing the operator password on the Twenex system and
|
|
-keeping it secret from everyone else. (I was able to thwart this coup

-However, occasionally the rulers do tell someone. Under the usual

-@command{su} mechanism, once someone learns the root password who
