Hmmm.  *I* can do anything I want to on the boxen I work on, even
though I'm not the sysadmin.  (And I don't even have to type "su".)
How?  I was nice to the SysAdmin and showed that I was responsible.  
Of course, every change I make outside of my home dir is logged, and
if I were to every do something stupid, the sledgehammer would come
down...
