While this will probably get me flamed to no end, users not reading the docs and keeping up with advisories (sys admins are users too) is only the cause of little things like nimda, code red, and probably at least 90% of all the other problems people report with any system. If you've read them, and at least tried to follow them and it still doesn't work, I have great sympathy and want to help. I never answer a question on a list that I know I can look at a manual and find the answer to in under a half-hour. Most questions I see posted can be easily solved by 15-30 minutes of reading though. Heck, I've made my entire career on the fact that I'm willing to do a bit of research when everyone else throws up their hands and says "it don't work".
