There are four major species of unix sysadmins : 1. the technical thug : usually a systems programmer who has been forced into system administration; writes scripts in a polyglot of the bourne shell, sed, c, awk, and maybe also perl. 2. the administrative fascist : usually a retentive drone (or rarely, a harridan ex-secretary) who has been forced into system administration. 3. the maniac : usually an aging cracker who discovered that neither the mossad nor cuba are willing to pay a living wage for computer espionage. fell into system administration; occasionally approaches major competitors with indesp schemes. 4. the idiot : usually a cretin, morpohodite, or old cobol programmer selected to be the system administrator by a committee of cretins, morphodites and old cobol programmers.
