I really get mad when I hear that the sysadmin owns the machine and pays
for its used resources. Whenever I worked somewhere and I had a sysadmin
it was the sysadmin who got payed by me and wouldnt be there if
we wouldnt work with the computers and need them.
And I lost so much time (which means money) just because the sysadmin
thought I wouldnt need this or that feature or similar.
So please dont think that sysadmins should have any right to forbid
something to the users who actually use the machines.
In my eyes is this one of the biggest grievence which exist nowadays.
E.g. not to have the possibility to set up a crypto filesystem
on your own in Linux..
Thanks fabian
