- and all the others who showed up for the presentation on the Waingrow book. I set myself up to be put through the wringer for having had the audacity to do a show on an admin book that was 12 years old. My angle, as stated earlier, was to examine some of the old ways for relevance to our age. I was rightfully challenged on most (such as "find" searches for default passwords, now that password aging is a common OS inclusion). But I had a solid point on the issue of "cleaning up" old home directories of former employees. Waingrow's day saw little wrong with outright removal but in this Sarbanes-Oxley age, I recommended offloading to an archiving machine via removable media. That gives you a "live" copy, plus a backup on your cartridge or thumb drive or whatever... (pats self on back).
