Thanks for all the great suggestions. I think for now I can keep it
simple and just change the password. However, I'll have to investigate
the schema thing a little further. I wondered how companies like
Novell and MS implemented this and I guess now I know. Not sure if
creating a new schema is a task I can handle but I can look into it
for now.

If anyone can think of something else let me know.
