The SOX demand on audit compliance covers the entire spectrum of business. Under the general computing section, there are strict guidelines for server logging, authentication audits, remote access, database access, incident response, change management, data integrity, data retention, monitoring, etc. This goes far beyond ethical standards involved with doing business as seen from an executive position. Executives will never understand everything involved with meeting the requirements this law has established.
I won a 64mb USB thumbdrive while at the last AZSAGE meeting. I didn't know what I would do with it at first, but it quickly became the most essential part of my keychain. The first thing I put on it was TightVNC and Putty. That alone seemed like it would make the thing pretty handy. Then I went to tinyapps.org and grabbed a ton of useful stuff including...
1) compression tools 2) encryption tools 3) a few graphic tools 4) secure file deletion tools 5) tiny web server 6) tiny ftp server 7) tiny irc server 8) tiny irc client 9) tiny personal firewall 10) hex editor 11) unix commands for DOS 12) misc other stuff
After all that I still had 44mb to work with. I threw all the scripts I'd written, a few priceless pics, a couple mp3s, and I still have 30mb to go.
When the screen-saver is activated, the screen goes black and an animated 'sheep' appears. Behind the scenes, the screen-saver contacts an internet server and joins the parallel computation of new sheep.
Every fifteen minutes 24/7 a new sheep is produced and distributed to all clients for display. Each sheep is an animated fractal flame. The coordinates are chosen by the server with some simple heuristics.

Groundwork is a great unification of Nagios and other tools that provides the missing configuration interface Nagios lacks.

There's a VMware appliance available if you want to take it for a quick spin around the block.

The first mp3 I ever grabbed was a THX trailer back in 96. It had grandpa simpson in the background yelling "turn it up!". I was instantly hooked.
