Agreed. Any objections?

I'm thinking more about the root password. Going back to the 'under a
bus' scenario, If only one person has access to the root password we
could be in a fix somewhere down the line.
I'm sure we can trust each other enough not to use the password unless
it's required, so giving people access to a document with all the
details in seems, to me, the best idea.
