!! Situation: New account creation.
Technical Thug::
- Writes [Perl] script that creates home directory, copies in incomprehensible default environment, and places entries in <tt>/etc/passwd</tt>, <tt>/etc/shadow</tt>, and <tt>/etc/group</tt>. (By hand, __not__ with passmgmt.) Slaps on SetUid
bit; tells a nearby secretary to handle new accounts. Usually, said secretary is still dithering over the difference between 'enter' and 'return'; and so, no new accounts are ever created.

Administrative Fascist::
Puts new account policy in [MOTD]. Since people without accounts cannot read the [MOTD], nobody ever fulfills the bureaucratic requirements; and so, no new accounts are ever created.
Maniac::
"If you're too stupid to break in and create your own account, I don't want you on the system. We've got too many goddamn sh*t-for-brains a**holes on this box anyway."
