Guys this is fascinating BUT isn't the XX admin (point well taken Tim 8-) impersonating user A on machine YY, and is this not a crime i.e. Computer Trespass? If the YY admin had intended the XX admin to have powers such as the deletion of user's binaries, then would he or she (ugly but grammatically correct unlike "they" and less blatant than "she") not have created an account on YY for the XX admin with at least some administrative priveleges? Anyway, the discussion was interesting...
