> PS - For someone with a Job title of "Senior IT Specialist" I am somewhat
surprised you are using tools like webmin and swat which do not have the
best reputations for security...

Yea I can agree with you; however I do not always have the time or luxury of
doing everything by hand and to some point I have to balance convenience
with security and even though I try to follow good practise and even best
practise on security I still sometimes prefer the GUI tools than to do stuff
by hand + if you think about it if people do not use the GUI tools out there
then they will never get better and then the "home" user population will not
grow as the "home" user do not or can not mess with conf files and why would
they as on Windows they do not have to

Let me explain the title thing as I did get flak on it in the past as well
and therefore please do not consider this as something directed to you but
rather as a general comment; YET I stand by this title: it does not state
Senior Linux/Windows IT Specialist or Senior IT Security Specialist and
therefore I am continuously open to guidance and learning but I do know a
large amount of IT stuff built up over many years in the field and therefore
I do not consider myself as a Junior nor Mid-range, I also do not consider
myself a generalist but a specialist and I specialise in IT so hence: Senior
IT Specialist.

Also If you think about it even if my title was "Dr or Prof. xyz in IT" then
still it does not mean that I need to do everything by hand does it?

thanx
