I get damn tired of dealing with clueless sysadmin/application-babysitters who:

1. Think that EVERY connection between computers on the INTERNAL corporate network passes through a firewall which is the source of all application problems. I actually had a P1 page on Friday for a "port opening on a firewall" for a firewall which does NOT EXIST, the day AFTER I had already explained it to the nimrod.

2. Think that just because a firewall exists between the Internet and the corporate net, that means we can (and should) open up every port anyone wants because the firewall makes it all safe. Apparently the idiots think a firewall is just like a big charcoal filter that sanitizes everything it passes.

3. Clueless sysadmins who connect a server to multiple nets, then proceed to try to use both interfaces for production after I've told them repeatedly the second net is a mgt-only net, and should NEVER be used as a transit net. So of course they ignore me and set themselves up with assymmetric routing, then send me a servicedesk ticket: "The Network is Broke". I firmly believe no sysadmin should be allowed to attach a server to a second net until he has passed the CCNA.
