[THIN] Re: Citrix servers and Antivirus software

Nope, I'm not worried about getting fired... My systems are locked  down
pretty hard and AV protected.  I was trying to convey the fact that admins
need to take this seriously... Like the other message I saw in this thread,
WTS is a client of other servers too, so it can infect other systems as
well.

I perfectly understand the slacker part and I abhor working with people who
are... I have no tolerance for that..

Good luck at retirement... If you love this stuff, you'll be back doing it
someplace else with less stress!

safe than looking for a job.

You actually worry about losing your job over getting hacked?  Well, you're
working at the wrong place then.  You should come work here.  Let machines
(this includes both servers and workstations) get hacked here and you'll get
promoted after spending 2-3 days rebuilding the infected machines from
scratch.  Another important point is to make sure you don't learn your
lesson and let it happen again by yet again failing to install patches that
have been out for months and that could have protected your machines.  Keep
your machines patched and protected and you'll get ignored and then brushed
off and told that you just "got lucky" even when you have tons of logs
showing that the miscreants who succeeded with hacking the machines that
weren't under your responsibility umbrella were the same miscreants thwarted
on your machines.  I've been "getting lucky" for nearly 5.5 years now,
problem is I just don't have it in me to be a slacker so I guess I'm just
not ever going to be promotion material here.  The only reason I'm not out
looking for a new job (besides the economy problems) is that fortunately for
me, I'm "retiring" soon. /end rant

I loved Ray's comments about riding a horse to work and motorcyle jumping
the Grand Canyon, ROFL.  I'm going to use that "do you ride a horse to
work?" with one of my friends who still insists on using Win98 and says the
same thing, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.  Nevermind that the machine is
like a big blinking neon sign inviting hackers in when they are on the
internet...
