##Maintaining local documentation
一;正文
As a system is changed to suit an organization’s needs.it begins to differ the plain-vanilla system described by the documentation.Since the system administrator is responsible for making these customizations,it’s also the sysadmin’s duty to document the changes.This chore includes documenting where cables are run and how they are constructed,keeping maintenance records for all hardware,recording the status of backups,and documenting local procedures and polices.

系统为适合单位的需要而逐渐改造，随着改造的进行，该系统便开始变得和文档当初所描述的那个基本系统不一样。既然系统管理员负责做这些定制工作，那么写文档将清楚变化也是管理员的职责。这项职责包括把电缆的走线位置，电缆连接方式等信息写入文档，保留所有硬件的维护记录，记录备份的状态，编写本地处理过程和策略的文档等。
