I hate to say it Brian - but you've got a farts chance in hell without
senior management support. Best way if you can is get an IT Auditor in -
shouldn't be too expensive since you'll only need him for about 4 hours max
(thats including report writing and partner review etc etc). 

If you tell me where you're based I can recommend someone probably...

ANyway basically you'll never plug all the holes and you'll always be hated
for plugging the one you do - get the big boss to givew you a FORMAL
INSTRUCTION to block all and admit x and x a dn x and at least they'll hate
him insted :}..

good luck,

Bret
