"Enabling FTP as root"

"Enabling telnet as root"

Minion is tasked with decommissioning a server. I tell them to check with various people that they understand the server will be destructively wiped as part of this. Minion asks those people if it's okay. Reply back is that confirmation will be forthcoming soon.

Minion then asks me if we can proceed.

I would have thought that was pretty obvious.
