My current client uses a series of fully-audited "firecall" ID's on their
production box that are disabled until a developer "checks one out" from the
help desk.  The ID's have pretty much QGOD authorization, so the auditing is
important (they caught one guy giving himself *ALLOBJ authority on his regular
ID from the firecall!).  If the developer doesn't "check in" the "firecall"
ID, it is automatically disabled at the end of the day.  Works pretty well...

One Solution,
