I use netatalk in schools. We let students have accounts. Students
graduate. I've always wanted root login so that I can make a CD Rom with
student files on them without needing to know student passwords and without
logging out and in hundreds of times. There are deep technical reasons
related to our computing environment why we cannot use group permissions to
do this.
