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.
