> adminr Remote users account with UID=0

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression it was considered a
BAD IDEA to have more than one user with the same UID _ESPECIALLY_ UID 0.
If the remote admin requires root privileges then he should su to root (and
thereby have his access logged in sulog). Every bit of advice I've read on
UNIX security has strongly advised against sharing UID 0 between accounts.
