[Imc-aotearoa-tech] moving to individual accounts..

[Miles Thompson]

Regarding giving out of passwords and changing of passwords, we really 
need to move to a situation with individual accounts and seperate 
passwords, rather than one password.

Does the current  user also have access to create users?

If we do this, then we might also need to have a process for giving 
people access to sudo.

I'm not sure that Cat will be Ok to give sudo to whomever our process 
recommends, but if so I think we should come up with some sort of process.

I suggest the followiing ...

:: Proposed process for gettting Sudo Access :

>- Someone asks and receives 'normal' access (on the main collective list) to ssh etc.
>
>- They do work and establish their skills to the tech collective through that account, asking for help from people with Sudo as needed.
>
>- When they decide that they really need sudo access for themselves, they send an email *to the tech list only* asking for Sudo access and explaining why they need it.
> 
>- One week passes and if no objecttions are raised they are given access.
>
>- When they are given access their name is addded to the wiki listing people with sudo access.
>
>  
>
I'd welcome your comments on the above.

Since I'm feeling a little legalistic, I might point out that the above 
is not yet a formal suggestion, just a thought and I would welcome your 
comments..,.
