True... but I always thought it was a massive faux pas for a
SysAdmin to actually admit it was his mistake. It's never the
admin's fault, some user did something bad. I'm sure if Ben
reviewed the logs closely enough, he could finger point.
No, a sysadmin should never cover up mistakes. Otherwise you end up
trying to troubleshoot and fix the wrong problem. We're all human and
learning how these systems break (which is rarely documented, even
internally) so mistakes happen.
Obviously Ben is a good sysadmin (from how well the site runs) and a
great sysadmin for figuring out and exposing the root cause so it
could be fixed. If any of us are running the GNHLUG mailman server,
we have shared knowledge. Great sysadmins help create more
sysadmins. Good ones just keep systems running.
Thanks Ben!
Agreed... I was just making a joke.
Keeping a volunteer project running is a major (and usually thankless)
job. So, my most humble apologies. I did not mean to denigrate what
Ben has done with the full disclosure and the tireless work on behalf of
GNHLUG.
