Boring part:

Interesting Part:
Club root password
Suggestion: Hashing scheme for password generation, only a few people know the master key gets concatenated with the name of the machine
resulting text hashed
small group knows master key (2 alums, 1 undergrad?)
create formal procedure for deciding who should have the key
keep log of who knows the key
change salt word in hash to prevent accumulation of people who know how to generate passwords
- hash changed when 3-4 people know password or we get to 4 years with the same salt
Discuss status of active tickets on Trac
- tabled until next week
