    Nothing that bad.  I recently watched someone unplug the Netra T1 that
operates as the firewall for approximatly 160 Sun and HP servers.  The
cables running to it were unlabeled, and the switch they came from had come
off lease, the person decided that it wasnt worth tracing the cable.
    Oops.
