That is because the default value is "no". When bobs loads you don't
want that set to "yes" since admin would always be logged in.
Any password would let you in. And the the same applies to everybody
else who has access to your LAN.
The comment is sane when you know php classes and sessions and how they
work. You took it out of its context and then it doesn't make as much
sense.

You can use rsync (with ssh) to make backups of remote machines. It
really comes down to what you need to do. You could setup tunneling and
what not and have bobs use that with NFS or SMB.
