This is the correct answer to the sysadmin problem. The reality is
there are many different types, and we should have "possible to split
sysadmin power" as a goal.
Examples:
I want someone able to install a new database version without being
allowed access to
the live customer data.
I want someone able to add users within a particular domain, but not
able to access anyone's files.
I want someone able to manage backups and file retrieval at the
physical media level.
I want to give an auditor read-only access to all the accounts.
I want someone to be able to manage resource usage and prioritise
users/programs.
I want someone able to set up all the above. Perhaps it would actually
be a committee, and need multiple signatures to proceed!
Hardware access ultimately means all bets are off, but at least it
should be somewhat hard. That means encrypted data I guess...
