A notorious example is the -@command{passwd} programs, which can users can run to change their -password, and which requires write access to the @file{/etc/passwd} and +@command{passwd} program, which users can run to change their +password, and which needs to access the @file{/etc/passwd} and @file{/etc/shadow} files---something normally restricted to root, for obvious security reasons.
