I second that!
The Assnt Sysadmin I have now though is pretty good, in the meaning
that he doesn't try to do things he doesn't know about, ie he knows
when to stay clear and ask for help and/or support. To bad his

It's a generational thing. Do you ever see middle-aged sysadmins
sniffing your firewalls or trying ceaselessly to connect to your
servers, except when trying out the security? Script-kiddies and
their teen-friends however are a different matter...
Anyway, you're getting old. ;-)
