A bit OT, but we're seeing this more and more these days. Administrators
who don't *really* understand the OSs they administer implement changes
because they're told to (or read about them somewhere) without *really*
understand what those changes will entail.
I have customers who remove all permissions for the SYSTEM ID on their
Windows servers, not realizing that doing so means that a scheduled TSM
backup using the TSM scheduler service employing the SYSTEM ID will miss
those files that SYSTEM can't read or write--sometimes with disastrous
consequences.
