[QUOTE="azrail, post: 29505"] The purpose is to have a - root level - account on all the machines with different passwords. So in the event we need to go to a user, and they forget their administration password, we always have a user to fall back on (via the install cd to reset the password). The password is got via a perl script that genereates a random 64 character password. The purpose to the password, is that each admin account has a different unknown password, so in the event someone found it, or hacked it.. it would be for that machine, and only for 1 day. [/QUOTE]
