Mostly, everything is filtered through sudo. I think that we have decided
that we are going to trust people not to change the variable (if they even
notice that it exists). The problem that I am running into now is how to
maintain that variable when they `su - user`. The login script runs a second
time, prompting them a second time for a ticket number, which is quite
annoying...

Thanks,
Kenny
