When Ed wrote "block", what he meant was "change the password". In this  
case, anyone could do that, so Ed did not need any special authority to do  
so. In fact, I will change the passwords of new accounts of this type  
myself if nobody else does. I have explained several times why these  
accounts are a bad idea and suggested alternatives, but the user who  
created them has ignored these suggestions.
