God, I hate when that happens. We had a CIO that insisted that IPSec
between offices was not secure over a dedicated T1. The he CIO that
insisted that no one should be aloud to run Active-X, not even the
development department. Or the CIO that decided that no one was to have
local admin - including the development teams. Then the CIO that thought
it would be good to open 1433/1434 to all interfaces so that remote
offices could access the Time*** database through the firewall because
the firewall was designed to block unwanted connections.....
