  Does anyone know how this program works?  There are a number of 
symlinks in /usr/bin to it.  The man page is pretty terse but says that 
it allows non-root users to possibly do root type things and that 
userhelper does all the work, the man page for userhelper is even more 
terse.  This is probably the spookiest thing I've seen in Linux.
