If they have legitimate reasons to be running network diagnostics, then
the *are* administrators. They just happen to not be logged into the
root account. (I hardly ever log into the root account on the systems I
admin...) Why don't they just add /sbin:/usr/sbin to their paths? How
hard is 'ln -s /sbin/traceroute /usr/local/bin/traceroute', or 'alias
traceroute=/sbin/traceroute'. WHY IS IT SUCH A BIG FSCKING DEAL?
