One of my customers just read a piece somewhere where 'some guy from
iTech' explains the cavernous exposure that is an IFS Root Share. Now
they are terrified and are prepared to simply delete it and deal with
any consequence of crashing apps or help desk tickets whining about lost
access.
I asked why they wouldn't listen to me when I pointed this out. They
said I should meet this guy 'Steve' because he's an expert and I could
learn from him. I pointed out that I've known 'this guy Steve' for a
decade and did a session at NAViGATE with him just last week where,
among other things, we told people 'NO!' to sharing the root.
They responded 'Oh.'
But if 'this guy Steve' can get them to not share the root, I'm OK with
that. Thanks Steve!

That last sentence says a lot now about how people need to take this more seriously, eh?
