Well, that would certainly make traversing unsecured networks fine -
but what about asking people to share computing resources who don't
necessarily trust each other with being able to run shell commands on
each other's machines?

I'm a little confused about the whole Pid conversation earlier though
- surely if you're only able to spawn a single function on my box that
I've defined, then Pids don't really come into it?
