Yes and 75% of all statistics are made up.  Why would you want to trade
off security for convenience when this can be done just as securely and
be convenient with security options such as pam_console?  I think other
distros have similar methods that can vastly improve security without
inconveniencing the user.  Security and convenience are not mutually
exclusive.  It is in fact the security of the dbus at_console rules that
allow us to think of ways we can make Linux more convenient to the user.
