What additional screening do you put your system administrators through? Are we talking security clearances and background checks? Definitely curious to hear the specifics.


I've not been directly involved in the hiring of a sys admin, since I'm a dev, but I do know that we at least do background checks.


Can you ask? I'm curious to learn what these background checks entail. Also, if they actually do prevent bad apple's from joining, why not do them to programmers as well (given that they have the power to program backdoors etc into systems).
