No, because he's using a bundled application and not a command line  
app. In that case, conventions (and user expectations) are different.

Mac OS X Server 1.0 was released in 1999, and Mac OS X (client) 10.0  
in 2001 on the desktop side (actually, even System 9 already had the  
concept of multiple users, but I don't remember anymore when it was  
released). But that's not really relevant here.
