Today I was asked to update a "Crohn job".

I shudder to think what such a task would entail.

Firewall your servers against attacks from inside the company?

(I knew a chap who had to do that, AFAIR because his testing server -
with access to the live DB when it was needed - was much more responsive
than the official server that the trading floor eejits were meant to
use. Sure, 80% of the time their trades wouldn't go through because they
were connecting to a testing DB, but that just meant they could yell at
him.)

Okay... so your machines are pipes... Does that mean you label the
tapes/floppies/cdroms in it things like "hash", "maryjane" and
"terbacca"?
