[In response the someone who felt that TA's can peruse their student's 
accounts]

What ever happened to privacy.  It is generally assumed that any information
protected by a password will NEVER by viewed unless (1) The owner allows this
or (2) There is a probable cause that certain data could undermine the integry
of the whole system (ie root shells) or (3) Someone has commited an illegal
act and comprmised the user's right to privacy.   

If you want to detect copying, se the evidence you have-- the turned-in 
assignments, but don't use root priv unless it is absolutelly (ie system
security or maintainence) necessary.
