1. nobody should not own anything. But who knows?
2. The fact that it owns nothing does not prove that it cannot be
dangerous. There are many local holes. Much more than network
holes. Common wisdom says that if an intruder got an unprivileged
access, you should consider that he managed to get root afterwards and
have to reinstall your machine.

Forbidden remote access shoud definitely NOT be ignored.
