Great!
How is the status at the moment, does it work correct?

I don't understand why you see this a problem. The user has given this
right to foo.

As a sysadmin, I would like to do my work even when the user has gone
for a lunch or something like that. When there are programs open like
Mozilla or OOo, it's problematic to start them from another session.

With regards,
Paul.
