Personally I've found the toor account helpful on "shared" machines.  So
if there a group that has primary sysadmin responsibility for the machine
they get the root password.  However as the network admin there might be
times things need to change/fix something so the netadmin has the toor
password.  That way each group can use their own password schemes, which
will also hopefully eliminate the need for password lists.

Just a thought
Forrest
