Rather than struggling in silence and possibly inexperience, in my
opinion this full-time sysadmin should have a daily online journal and a
mailing list for public discussion of such troubles.

Maybe he's superman doing the work of a team of 10.  Or maybe this is
his first root access, he's in way over his head, and there are 5-minute
solutions to these problems from experienced admins.

Without some transparency, it's impossible to know.  Anyway, wrong
audience but if others agree maybe it might filter back to the right
ears.
