At old job, the supervisors had shell access, the regulars didn't. The only person that knew what kind of mischief one could get up to with even a non-root shell account on a random UNIX box was me. Sometimes the supervisors would forget to log out. They would then find a message next time they logged in explaining that they really should log out every time, this wasn't the worst thing that could happen, and they could knock on IT's door and ask for Mycroft and he'd stop this message occurring (and force them to change their password).
One person didn't, for a couple of months. I found him on the floor, and suggested I could fix it for him. He said he liked seeing it every time as a reminder. I suggested I could make the message less obnoxious and more "please remember to log out." He took me up on *that* offer. Smart, really, I thought.
Standard around here is "email to group offering to buy lunch."
