The issue here would seem to be that, wihout a "--no-u user1,user2"
equivalent, then having an admin force a "-u *" at the system  level
just takes all control away, around that argument, from the user's level.

If anything, the mantra should be that the system level directive control
should be used to take away capability, rather than add it to the default,
because the latter can alway be done at the user-level.

Just another thre'pen'th though.
