It varies. I seem to 'inherit' networks that are not populated
by humans (mostly machines & controls). I like to first copy
the running configurations to my laptop as often the routers are old and
nobody seems to know much about them. (yea as an old linux_hag
I get work on stuff that most other will not touch).....
As a PE in Controls, I seem to get lucky and am able
to patch, enhance or replace equipment, with minimal
disturbances to the myriad of protocols and legacy
heuristics that inhabit these plants. It's a situation
where if you break it, you own the problem. I try very
hard to keep Microsoft based technologies out of the plants.
Microsoft(anything) is mostly a disaster in the Process
Controls space. I often prove this to a customer, by dropping
in a sniffer here and there and show them the myriad of
shit_traffic that Microsoft(anything) generates just to move
a few bits around. Besides, if you don't believe me,
just ask the IRANIANS how wonderful MS is (think stuxnet virus).
(enough background?)
I use a laptop, as often the sites do not have any remote
access or it is blocked. I grab a config and then figure
out a fix, only to return later, sometimes with drop in
replacement hardware. Too often, I'm content to just hack
at the old existing (shit) hardware. Industrial folks are not
so robust on their nets that control machines and such.Often,
Poor practices and little of a structured management system exist.
Still, I get to avoid humans, so I trudge along, meeking out a living....

Rancid looks interesting enough to explore. Do you have an unofficial
ebuild somewhere, or do you just hack the install on gentoo?
