Why am I a t**t? PIX related incident!

Hi all

When you do something good you should always be rewarded, even if it's
just a nice warm feeling inside!

On the other hand when you do something bad you should be punished and
I am officialy punishing myself by posting this message...

Tonight I connected to my work network via a Cisco VPN client through a
Cisco 515E PIX (This is managed by a third party supplier)... So I
thought I would be a clever t%*t and change the domain name in the
PIX... If this wasn't enough I decided to relod the PIX when it warned
me that the encryption was no longer valid.

After rebooting it I realised that the failover PIX would kick in...

Now I can't get into my network and fix my errors! It's ok because I
don't have a boss (what I mean is it is my PIX), obviously I have a
boss - everybody has a boss!

The problem is I'm not sure if I can get into the box locally tomorrow
and change the domain name back and reboot the two boxes or do I have
to punish myself even more and phone the supplier that looks after the
PIX and admit what a t%*t I am? Eat humble pie or fix the error?

Feel free to call me a t$*t... or you could help me! Will this be
sorted when I change the domain name back?

Thanks.
