Quoting Rick Moen rick@linuxmafia.com:
Quoting Xavier (balug-talk@xav.to): Larry tells me that people who _probably_ have the listadmin password are: Larry Platzek Michael Paoli Ann E. Worley Xavier Dick Verna Rick Moen (I don't yet have addresses for Ann or Dick, but will probably look around.)
If I'm not mistaken, I do not have the current listadmin password, but I do have "admin" access for changing the BALUG web site. If the listadmins see fit (should probably be a consensus decision) to provide me the current listadmin password, I've no objection to that. Can't promise I do or would always have time to deal with listadmin stuff ... but I of course can't really do much of anything regarding the actual administration of the lists themselves (or even inspecting their settings) if I don't have the listadmin password.
Ann's address can be derived from here: http://lists.balug.org/pipermail/balug-admin-balug.org/2006-March/000143.htm... Dick's e-mail can be found here: http://www.balug.org/ (look for the link towards right of web page, and about 2/3 of the way down the web page). I was also advised that it's often better/faster to contact Dick by phone, particularly if one needs to be sure he's made aware of something and/or it comes to his attention in a reasonably timely manner. Again, Larry or someone else might have that phone number more handily available. If it's needed, ... I've also got it, but I might have to dig a bit to locate it again (haven't needed to use it ... yet.)
Dick's phone is in the balug-admin archives. It was in a posting I did on 10/20/05.
When I tried to reach the balug website just now I could not reach it.
I was the one who implemented the password change after a small consensus and passed it on to Larry/Dick.
Yes, probably good to change it at least once in a while (like if it gets leaked/exposed, or someone ceases to be a listadmin, or probably at least quarterly if any usage forces it to go across the network in cleartext, and probably at least yearly at a minimum in any case). _______________________________________________ balug-admin mailing list balug-admin@lists.balug.org http://lists.balug.org/listinfo.cgi/balug-admin-balug.org
