I have to agree...
Security concerns (in my opinion) can get toned down (and from the original
post it would seem to be a pretty small hole) when you have a business
affecting issue...
Allowing TAC engineers access to the equipment can dramatically lessen done
time....
Like any other issue, there is always a trade off in security and
convenience....
Unfortunately I've had many TAC cases involving IOS bugs that could not have
been solved via normal "secure" methods...
