We have a network consisting of a number of different servers and UNIX boxes,
providing facilities for about 500 staff and students. We have one system
administrator who is responsible for day to day operation, and one backup
administrator who can cope with anything, but normally does nothing in this area

As an extra backup, we are implementing a system where the system passwords are
documented, sealed, and held with a responsible non technical person. This
theoretically permits a new administrator to pick up immediately if we two shoul
be simultaneously struck by lightning :-(
