True, but the usual work behaviour here means that seldom happen. Even
if they do need to work on somebody else's machine, most customers
simply used the permissions of whoever it is.

I've not quite succeeded in convincing any of them that it's a bad
idea to let everybody else in the department know your password for

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll take a look at it but chances are I
won't actually get to try it until at least a couple of months later
either with a new server or an existing. No point ruffling feathers
after just fixing what was broken! :D
