Of course it would.  As I was trying to indicate in the original post, tongue 
was firmly through cheek (if not wrapped around neck)....but IIRC the whole 
thread got started because someone was arguing AGAINST setuid.    But as 
George wrote earlier, you can never prevent root from doing ANYTHING on a 
system.  After all, root is the system god, even if most roots are stuck in 
the MUD :-)
