RE: Physical access to servers for maintenance

I do 99% of what I need from SSH as well, the only exception is hardware and installs, which I have someone in the data center do.

Of course, under NT this is completely different. Although Win2000 does have a funky Telnet.

OK so i can do 95-98% of what i need to do without access to the servers. [i use SSH myself.] but those few time i need access it's because something is badly wrong with either the server or the network, and those time i really need the access. so i prefer to keep my access rather tan give it up. they are after all , *my* databases, and i'm the one responsible.
