Inexperienced system administrators want control. Senior system
administrators want never to *need* control.

KeyKOS tried very hard to be "operatorless". There are certain things
you need an administrator for: software install, drive upgrades, and
initial account creation.  Maybe some policy, but not much.

It is not clear that there is any other necessary function for a system
administrator. It *is* clear that anything which can be tuned or
adjusted, will in practice be tuned or adjusted wrong most of the time.
