Are you sure your Password Recovery is UP TO DATE?

Password recovery is a realy nice feature, Officially introduced in Domino 5.x, was also undocument feature in 4.x with an Escrow Agent.
Allows to restore user ID if user lost ID or have forgotten password.
Some versions like 5.0.2 had some problems with sending recovery information, but later was fixed and works as a clock.
To be on a safe side, and to check that EVERY USER in Your Domino directory has backup ID, create a categorized view in a recovery database, categorized by SENDer, number of categories should be significantly more than number of users (because ID DB will contain ID for terminated users also). Then you have to check that every person record has recovery ID.
It would be nice, if someone who has some free time, can create this template, which will show users, all his ID versions and ALSO (VERY IMPORTANT) an agents that checks that every record in names.nsf has at least one record in recovery DB. in case of problem, agent should notify admin.
Because there are cases, when oldest and mainly most important users, lose their ID, and you notice that only users (re)certified in last N years have corresponding recovery ID.
I think this agent could be a nice thing, which proactivelly can reduce number of problems with ID recovery.
