I've encountered a system administrator who left the admin LDAP password (for the entire organization) in plaintext in a world accessible script. I'd tell you the name but I don't want to drag the institution through the mud unnecessarily.

Oh holy hell this is a common mistake. Especially if your developers have local admin rights. Don't expect /etc/skel (OS X) to be unreadable.
