This is only because the administrator(s) apparently don't have a grip
on what they are doing. If between you and your consultant, you can't
figure out ipchains, and can't install a functional sytem, then whoever
is in charge should hire somebody who can do these elemental things, or
pay to [better] train existing personel. It is *not* nearly so tough as
you make it out to be. So, please quite trying to make it into some
infathomable thing.
