The "backup" is the manager/ IT Security Officer who has the password [or
the two halves of the password]
written down on a piece of paper , such paper being placed in a FireProof Safe.
So what happens if the manager / IT Security Officer decides to take a
"peek" at the password ?

You'd have to hire guards to shoot anyone entering the No Lone Zone solo. Reminds me of my aircraft maintenance days in the military. Of course the stakes were MUCH higher then.

-----Original Message----- From: MacGregor, Ian A. [SMTP:ian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] There is also the idea of two-man control. No one is allowed sole access to the machine room. No one knows the entire root/admin or dba password. I know of many places which implement two-man control for physical security, but none that have carried it to the computer security level. It would be so burdensome.
