- No, you are missing the point, the users give joe sysadmin an FTP request
- which is probably batched by the sysadmin (similar to a firewall concept)
- the requests are carried out and the files are given the proper ownerships
- and placed in the proper user accounts on the system (at least that is how
- I read it). Remember joe superuser can do anything to anyone's account
- without their password.
