You top post doesn't make any sense.
What Glynn says is true, you don't need access to init 1 or shutdown or
even root permissions to access any machine if you have access to the
consol. If your security and janitors have access to it, you better make
sure you can trust them. I don't know why anyone paying security $10.00
would trust them with the key to the servers.
