This happened to me in a sense.  I backed up a users desktop box "data" 
which included various NSFW items to the server while doing a Windows 
upgrade.  The only way I had to do this was as to make a directory in my 
home directory because I was not an admin on the server and I didn't have 
that users login info.  Its not that the user wouldn't have given me their 
password, but I always felt safer by just not knowing.  So who gets in 
trouble for putting porn on the server?  The wanker user?  No.  Me. 
Corporate America really irks me sometimes.
