It is perhaps not unreasonable to allow site administrators to set up
their own security model.  It is stupid to have both a locked front door
and an open back door on the same system.

To the extent that Plan9 provides a practical demonstration that non-weak
security isn't onerous in a distributed environment, that's a great thing.
Viewed this way, adding cleartext network passwords is as useful as
peeing in the petri dish.
