This risk always exists once you allow a user to use Jack,
it doesn't matter if that happen under his own login (as
would be permitted with promiscuous) or using a second
'shared' identity (as is required now if there is more
than one user). The latter is probably even less safe.

And at least here, a computer being hacked is probably
the least of all risks. Any user getting access to the
system can damage it in much more expensive ways.

Allowing access based on group membership would be ideal,
at least for my use.
