I'm the SYSDBA for all my apps fortunately - If I am forced to change it (or
desire to) then it will also force me to update my apps and until that time
local users/admins are warned by the app that they no longer have the ablity
to change passwords. I time updates with password changes. I don't let other
apps run on my servers - hardware is too cheap - they have to go get another
box. I'm lucky maybe.
