It's a question of tradeoffs.  If you think secure tty's are more of a
security problem than typed passwords over the net then don't use
them. 

Most people around here (I think) don't use ksu.  They have aliases
which switch to a separate ticket file, get root instance tickets with
kinit, and rlogin to any servers they need to manage.
