I've been working as a security consultant for a 
financial company.

a system administrator handling the several of the 
critical servers will be retiring. before he leave the

company the management wants me to interview him and
in 
"certify" that he did not leave any timebombs,
malicious 
programs on the pcs. 

Since i have no experience in handling pre-termination
of
a systems administrator, i would appreciate you
insights 
and suggestions on how to go about this. 

Questions that needs to be asked. Steps to take to 
ensure that the systems are clean after his 
resignation. 


Thanks and God bless!
