Er... like, WTF?

The sysadmin has absolute power. They can do *anything*. Up to and 
including completely replacing the entire OS with one that will allow 
them to do whatever they want. You *cannot* prevent somebody who wields 
that kind of power from doing whatever the hell they want - so they had 
*better* be worthy of such trust!
