Certainly, but I know from past experience if admins notice, they tend to
not realise you are doing them a favour securing the system, and instead
send the FBI/MI5/MIB/Whoever around to break 'yer legs.
Seriously, doing anything like that is asking for trouble. It'd actually
be fairly easy to code a modified version of Ramen and Lion to patch
Redhat/SuSE/Debian etc, however I don't feel inclined to play around for
above reasons.
