    Patrick,

    I think that answer depends on your environment. At one past assignment
    there were 3 of use to administer root passwd's for 1,100 + servers. I have
    been the lone ranger for 20+ servers and been bored stiff. I presently
    manage 7 servers and my day is extremely busy. Present demands mean that I
    spend 5 full days on site, in addition 3 hours on Saturday and 2 hours
    dialed in on Sunday from home. Extenuating circumstances that should end
    soon.

    Each environment has it's own requirements.

    Regards,
    Jerry Gelaude
