OK, missed the distinction.

Unless I missed something (which is possible, I haven't really been
paying attention), we're talking about Josh having access to the
186_www database in lieu of an admin interface to... hmm, OK - what is
he trying to do exactly? At least part of this thread doesn't seem to
be on the archives site or my own mail folder :-(

In any case, I don't consider Josh to be an end user, nor do I have
any problem giving him a shell account on wwwmaster to do work which
sounds like it's comparable to one of us loading the latest version of
the docs. I'm pretty confident we can train him not to use the account
for any other purpose! I'd certainly much rather do that than have
random IPs granted direct access to the DB.
