But Jack,

"Review and remove unnecessary accounts" "unix"
Google it.

Anyone security / audit weenie who *doesn't* put that in the policy is probably 
in need of the beginner book or a new job.

One can argue all they want with the auditors about the philosophy and 
correctness of leaving them in, but in reality, the policy is still broken.   
And some of us need our jobs.
