Our DBAs have the root password. We trust them with our databases and they need root permissions for a number of things. There's nothing worse than waiting for someone else to change permissions on something.

Creation of raw devices requires root permissions on our system (DG/UX). Yet another reason we allow the DBAs access to root.
