Maybe. I think the point is there are lots of newbies and some of them
lurk. Given if one guy does it then there are probably others that do as
well. It needed to be said--regardless of what you say--that that is a bad
idea and irresponsible. Period. Even if you don't think you'll be
compromised, if you were, then someone could use that as a gate to
compromise others. Period. It's not just a problem of the guy with the
box. And as far as being a sysadmin goes, I know some sysadmins who are
very good, and I also know some personally that couldn't grep their way
out of a wet paper bag, so that in itself, doesn't prove competency of the
sys admin in question, as much as the person who hired them. This is not
to say you aren't good at what you do. It is just to say I've seen too
many 'experts' with licenses, break boxes and do a bad job (with hardware
or adminstration ) , as well as the contrary to just assume that just
cause you are a sysadm you know what you are doing. Don't take my
statements personally, I wasn't criticizing you, I was just questioning a
mentality.
