No kidding, heck I rarely would allow another engineer unfamiliar with
one of my customers sites in the cage alone when I worked at Exodus (Now
Cable & Wireless) a few years back, just too many ways for people to
screw up and you just can't take ANY chances in a live production
environment. Man that was a great job, nothing beats the humming of
hundreds of machines, there cooling fans, the airconditioners whirling
away, your fingers turning blue after 12 hours in the datacenter,
occassionally some soul when come walking past and thats like your only
glimpse of human life for another couple of hours.... ahhhh the good old
DOT COM days....
