Dang. I've been caught.
I think root and toor are fine. In fact, most all of the systems I
administer also have a croot account. croot has /bin/tcsh for a
shell.
root and toor (and croot for me) only differ in specified shell. Other
than that, they are supposed to be the same user.
Having two users w/ the same uid who are supposed to be different is
bad.
Take care,
Bill
