Please carefully consider this matter. Having a dedicated group is |
| 11 |
quite convenient to limit users from using games on workstations |
| 12 |
and is also handy as a parental control feature. Of course, |
| 13 |
a dedicated group is not an ultimate solution and can be evaded by |
| 14 |
technically skilled users, but it nevertheless helps. |

If application doesn't validate its input, this is an application's |
