This actually reminds me of a personal BOFH story when one of our
users thought it would be *convenient* to 'chmod 777' his home
directory to *share* files....it worked for that session, but then he
couldn't re-auth b/c his ssh home-dir permissions were too liberal. 
It sure was fun to *re-educate*... meet chattr!
