(see above) This is a security risk/breach of the 'first water' Double-plus agreed. Roger, though you will have trouble bucking tradition, do lobby to make sure that no more than one person EVER uses a given ID. Janitor or president--share IDs only with those who also share your toothbrush. Share financial-accounts, move files, swap minidisks, whatever, but don't recycle IDs! Old subscriptions are the least of your potential problems. Let's take this up on another list or privately if you wish. - Greg Johnson, ID-Administrator-Among-Other-Things, U of MO
