/sbin/fdisk -l /dev/sda
is very useful - for example if you want to duplicate a system setup or 
just be prepared to restore after a disk failure.  And it's obviously 
safer to run it as non-root instead of encouraging people to 'su -' even 
for read access.   The point still is that it is permissions that always 
should control who can do what, not obscurity.
