   Corporate putting in all of these extra hoops to jump through for "security" just to have the admins responsible for these systems go "I dunno what you're talking about, I'll just give you root access and you can do it yourself."

     We've been trying to get this issue fixed since last week. It's fucking Thursday. "This issue" is a goddamn expired password on a service account whose password should not ever expire it the first place (it shouldn't allow you to login with the password, we don't need that, but now we can't login even without the password because it's expired.)

     BUT PRIVATE CORPORATIONS ARE SOOO EFFICIENT!

     Lovely, even after explaining that corporate policy prohibits me from knowing the password to this account the admins are demanding that I be the one to choose the new password. OK then, I guess I'll take that secret unauthorized privilege escalation if you're just handing them out like fuckin candy...
