Yeah thanks for that suggestion, but I want to catch him out without
necessarily alerting him to the fact that someone else may have a higher
level access than he does. If he sees another user logging in & out in the
maint logs, he will just ask me who is SYSTEM and what is the password &
what does it do etc etc....
Each time he buggers something up, I just correct it, then restrict
installer access to that particular form.
