You know, it's not *just* that your colleague is an "old time solaris admin".
I'm an old fart solaris admin and we were checking stuff into source control back in the dark ages. RCS was invented in 1982 and SCCS in 1972. If I may, I suggest trying to persuade him starting from *his* point of view. Try to understand why he set things up this way. Is it just laziness, or does he feel that there is security and stability in sticking with a known good configuration? Not saying this is right of course, just your basic "how to win friends and influence people" or "getting to yes" sort of thing, trying to understand what the other guy's point of view is. In terms of converting management I would start on the security side, with lists of vulnerabilities and security best practices. That stuff is easy to find and getting your servers up to those standards will require introducing some of the changes you want to see. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
