Because you want to either know how to switch to a login prompt or you want
to know more about the not-logged in shell.
Every file has beside access rights for owner, group and other also rights
for the not-logged in user.
The right thing would be to add this feature to chmod, ls and so on, so we
can make use of it. Then you can fine tune the power the ont logged in user
has.
