Every time you access your box as "!root" it logs an entry for "admin".
The first time I saw this I really freaked out. I don't have an "admin"
account and I sure as hell didn't want one loging in to my box. After I
figured out it was just me, I calmed down ;-) Karma is going to catch
up with me one day I'm sure, but this wasn't it.

Remember, lots of scripts and utilities login to the PM's as "!root".
