Edit - Unix & Linux Stack Exchange

You are not logged in. Your edit will be placed in a queue until it is peer reviewed.

We welcome edits that make the post easier to understand and more valuable for readers. Because community members review edits, please try to make the post substantially better than how you found it, for example, by fixing grammar or adding additional resources and hyperlinks.

We also tell users to log tickets instead of turning up at our desks. We tell them not to share passwords. We tell them to not deploy code without going through the change process. We tell them not to download random crap from the internet and run it on their PC, nevermind the servers. We tell them to put their code into version control. In most organiations failure to comply with these basic rules would result in a disciplinary process. Here it's BAU.
