OS-9 has (at least the potential) to be a fairly secure multi-user
system. It's just that everybody just runs as user 0, AKA root.

Can't really blame Tandy for skipping the whole "Federal Government
doesn't like ecryption" thing by not including a password program,
even if it does render the tsmon/login system kind of silly.
