I kind of think that that problem is fine. Why should the "admin" account be shared to begin with? Create users who have the access that they need to manage the system. Then there is no stepping on feet, and you know who did something. Leave the "admin" account for when things are really borken. Or does that go against what that account is for? I'm not sure our Zope server even has the ability for an "admin" account. :-)
If you create executable content (like DTML or python scripts) using a"normal" account that's Manager, and if later that account is removed for some reason, you're hosed: the executable content won't have any executable roles and so won't work.
That's why having a shared, permanent, "admin" account can be a good thing.
Ah, I guess we have have that problem, but there are enough people that have Manager in the root to fix things and take ownership of objects owned by no-long-users. -Chris
