Then let's make a little contest out of it: what's the most stupid thing you've
done as a system administrator ?
Cleaning up some obsolete users on a system that accepts remote ssh logins and
somehow managing to remove my own ssh key too. Which I discovered about ten
minutes later when I went to log in again and found that I had locked myself
out.
Not one I did, but one I was part of. A co-worker and I were discussing
something or other (might even have been work related) leaning on top
one of the VAX 11/750s in the machine room. They are just a convenient
elbow height. Suddenly the console spewed into life, and for some
strange reason the system was booting. Oops, my co-worker had managed
to press their stomach against the reset button!
Mind, I can also recall the same co-worker sorting out a hardware
problem that had been baffling the engineers for an hour - the on-off
switch was in the off position!
