Firewall Administration

["Hart, Lee Anne" <LeeAnne.Hart () MONTGOMERYCOLLEGE EDU>]

If you don't mind sharing, who maintains your firewalls - hardware and
operating system, not the firewall software? Currently, our IT Security
team are the only people with access to our firewalls, but our
networking group is asking for some rights to maintain the hardware and
to be able to reboot them. I have mixed feelings about this and wanted
to know how other organizations handle this. Also, what are some of the
pros and cons of this?  Thanks,
