Looking at it logically, it sounds like you're saying it's a permissions
issue. I doubt (for example) it's _impossible_ to make /usr/doc
"sharable" between machines (hold on ... lemme try -- oops! I just did it).
	Is it your understanding that this is a convenience for network
administrators?

What else don't I want to know? Oh, I know: I don't want to know what I
don't want to know! This is much more complicated than I originally
expected... but then, that's doubtless another thing I don't want to know.
	Why is it I want to know what I don't want to know if I don't want
to know it? That's another, right?
