I don't think there should be any backdoor's in a program. Can't you just have it backed up constantly, so if you get locked out for whatever reason, you can just reinstall or what not. It may take time to do it, and you might be down for a little bit, but I think it would be a lot better than just leaving a little pooper in your program.

it becomes a necessity, except that I always remove mine when leaving a job. For instance, remote access (when not technically "allowed"), or if the name authenticator hoses up and not even admins can get in. all sorts of scenarios.

[CoffeeShark]
