The names have already appeared on the net.  They are Croesus and Kroisos.
I have checked out the former.  However, I do not see what good they do.
If I give the guard a random name, or my own, he tells me that he does not
know me and to drop the gold and follow him out.  If I then ignore him, he
goes away, leaving me locked in the vault.  If I say "Croesus" he says:
"Sorry to disturb you," and goes away, leaving me locked in the vault.  The
only way I know to rip off the vault is to teleport out.  Personally, I
love to eat dead leprechauns.
