We have an HP-UX box here. I usually just walk past it with a frightened look on my face. It scares me. Most of our servers get rebooted every 3 months or so for Windows updates, driver updates, firmware, etc… ---

Ya its actually an OS. The part that blew me away was you can log into JUNOS as root and go completely into the OS. You can run it on a virtual machine thats hacked together. Some guy got it working and was passing around a CD for it during one of the encryption and security threat response classes in NYC I was at for work. I probably should try to find it. ---

> [@boardjnky4](#): > > haha > > that sounds reliable and secure Haha well the first thing you have to do is change the password to something before you can write the config. It doesn’t prevent the idiot setting it up from making the password like “password” or “root”. ---
