I couldn't agree with you more, Billy!
Worked for the US government some time back. Some developers from one of
the contractors were working late one night and couldn't find a
government employee to fix a database problem. They thought they'd have
to wrap up and continue the next morning when they could reach a civil
servant. A knowledgeable developer at the contractor site "hacked" in
and fixed the problem. Instead of thanking him for pointing out a
security failure, they fired him (at the government's request). AFAIK,
the sysadmin never did patch up the hole ... but they were all grins
that they had "caught" the hacker red-handed. Go figure.
