>>The problem I see is that the new administrator can easily delete out the other administrator, which would allow the new admin to rave havic on the system.

Well not many admins are going to allow someone access who they think are going to trash their site.

>>Okay...so you're using the htaccess/htpasswd system...Do you also have a mechanism built-in to delete and edit admin accounts in the .htpasswd file?

Of course.

>>2) Why are you using a .htaccess/.htpasswd system?

It would be better to control access via built-in authentication of Links SQL for administrators to access the administrative script rather than using .htaccess/.htpasswd. <<

This isn't an addon to Links SQL using the Links SQL code - it is a _full_ seperate script that is being distributed to everyone not just Links SQL users. Therefore htaccess was a good option for admin security. Staff/Members login via the script and not basic auth...only admin.
