sipb0 does not have admin access. I can downgrade it to a User instead
of a Power User. The description of the Power user states that:
Power Users possess most administrative powers with some restrictions.
Thus, Power Users can run legacy applications in addition to certified
applications
while User states:
Users are prevented from making accidental or intentional system-wide
changes. Thus, Users can run certified applications, but not most
legacy applications
I can make sipb0 a user and give it the ability to shut down the
machine. I'll just need to keep an eye on group policy to make sure such
a change stays in place.
I'll look into the disks and DT's SCSI bus.

Does this have a lot of administrative ability, besides the ability to
reboot the machine? I thought we'd decided at some point to have a
passwordless account for general use, but that it wouldn't have any real
privledges.

The machine has a SCSI bus right? There are some spare scsi disks
available for random stuff in the office sitting on the bookshelf to the
left of zorp. Feel free to grab one and attach it. This probably won't
be a bigger disk, but I'm assuming a second disk will also solve the
problem.
