I'm not an expert at this, but i'm still not convinced this improves the
situation. Suppose that you encrypt and sign a command execution request
(say 'reboot'). If i'm not mistaken, the admin can intercept this
package, and send it to you at a later time, and as such
execute the command for you; of course, he would probably not know what
command he actually sent but he would have gotten your machine to
reboot.
