Hehe, you should read more BOFH :-)  Seriously though, a few incidents that 
you manage well (ie informing management continuously what is happening) 
will put you in better light.  Speak to your boss about what he did and why 
he didn't ask you first, if you don't get a satisfactory answer then *tell 
him* that, that it's not acceptable, explain why, and speak to someone else 
if necessary.  Tell him why it's important that nobody can modify the IT 
systems without your knowledge, you should fix things so that it's 
*impossible* for him to make any changes like that again without you 
knowing.  If you don't have a good talk with him he will do it again and 
annoy you more.

> Yeah. But not when computing is your only commercially important skill.

Well (from what I remember) your company is certainly not paying you as 
someone with a commercially important skill.
