Depends on how you're counting. If the choice of full shell or
nothing means you restrict shell accounts to your mother and others of
equivalent trustworthiness, no problem---and that's your choice. But
giving access as you propose to somebody who is vulnerable to
dns-spoofing or other man-in-the-middle attacks makes it the Black
Hat's choice, not mine, and I will never be able to identify the vermin.
