Login in was just a 'gentleman' policy. Everyone would just have root permissions and help/get helped from anywhere to anywhere in the system.

  That was only true in very early systems. By the time of the PDP-10, HACTRN will nag you to log in if you run most commands and the gunner would kill off your job after a relatively short interval (the exact interval differed from machine to machine).

    Still more open than Unix. Also if you got your hands on DDT, it would be a non-issue.

      HACTRN is the (timesharing top level job) DDT.
