<p>System administration is sometimes the art of solving problems of which you don't know the source. For that kind of problems, I wrote my own checklist based on my personal experience: it's a four-phase analysis I run through until I find the problem.</p>
<ul>
<li>at first, don't trust the user;</li>
<li>then, don't trust the computer;</li>
<li>then, don't trust the OS;</li>
<li>if all this fails, don't trust yourself.</li>
</ul>
<p>Ciao!<br><tt>--bronto</tt></p>
