I don't really have a strong opinion on this thread one way or the
other, but... how is it a security problem if a user who has root
access to the system anyway wants to edit privileged files?
The user need to provide a password to access the privileged files, and the only operation
allowed will be the requested one against that file. Running an entire application as root
expose all the possible operations:
