BYPASS privilege !!

We are currently preparing for the dreaded Sarbanes-Oxley stuff
and are discussing the effects (if any) of removing BYPASS privilege
from the SYSTEM account.

In particular, we are concerned whether this privilege is
"absolutely" required by anything in the system startup.

One related question would also be, Does anyone know of any
SysAdmin function which "absolutely" must be done from the SYSTEM
account, i.e. any function which would fail even if the account used
was an exact copy of the system account (except the name).

1. Has anyone out there actually done this? (i.e. removed
BYPASS from the SYSTEM account)

2. Are there any white papers out there which discuss this in
detail??

TIA

Dave.
