The point is that from an auditing standpoint, those kind of measures are just eye candy for auditors. That reminds me of the auditor that insisted I give screen shots of an xterm window. She thought that was 'proof', and it never occurred to her that there are several ways to fake screen shots, all undetectable. And the auditor to whom I explained various methods I could use to bypass controls, and they would not be able to detect it. His reply was "But you wouldn't do that, would you" No, I wouldn't.
