Argh, but *why* is it using the `-f' switch?  I don't really want to
turn it off before I understand why it's there in the first place.

Same here -- I'm not sure whether I really want to be a "trusted user"
and why.  What if someone else wants to use Gnus on my machine?  Need
he be a trusted user too?

Can someone who understand these matters explain what's going on?
