Jerry, you're still making the fatal mistake. You think that because YOU
are trustworthy (and I fully believe that you are, at least until you
start working on my network), you can trust everyone. You can't. And if
you're the sysadmin team, you can't trust ANYONE. Not even eachother...
not completely.
> We are all a team with the same ultimate goal.
That's not always true. Some people get hired at companies for the
express purpose of stealing their technology or sabotaging their
operation, or existing engineers (or even non-engineering help) get pissed
at their company and decide to make them hurt. Our job is to make it as
difficult as possible for that to happen.
