Users with read only access to the admin database can't read the
system.users collection.

I considered adding a link to Password Hashing
Insecurity
but it doesn't add value. I could footnote a link to SERVER-4692.

It's only fair that I patch this, since it was my support ticket that
caused it to be opened in the first place.
