Isn't this the default?

You're moving into a very Microsoft-ish area by having the producer of the OS restrict means of access rather than putting it in the hands of the user. This is not DOS with XP running on top, where you have to ask MS for permission to install a new soundcard. This is UNIX, you are in control with Apple offering you suggestions but not telling you what you can and cannot do. This is the linux way of doing things. :) So, if you want root access for some strange reason, then you can have root access via SSH. This could be a viable situation be it on a machine behind a good firewall.
