You don't want to do this!  When you have these right's enabled
you open up your system BIG time.  I can see everyone hitting
you're server as "root" until they break-in... then you're
screwed.  Suggestion, purchasing ISBN 0-07-212127-0, ala
Hacking Exposed by Osborne.  If you read this book and still
can't grasp security then go into another line of work. ;-)
