[BALUG-Admin] time to change list ... passwords

[Michael Paoli]

Once upon a time, it was said:

Quoting "Michael Paoli" <Michael.Paoli@cal.berkeley.edu>:

> Quoting "Rick Moen" <rick@linuxmafia.com>:

>> Quoting Michael Paoli (Michael.Paoli@cal.berkeley.edu):

>>> If you don't want to be bothered with changing the "Moderator" password

Quoting "Rick Moen" <rick@linuxmafia.com>:

> A lot of the documentation claims (as above) that the roles work only if

Anyway, not sure if we actually covered changing that "moderator"
password earlier this year, or not ... so, ... to cover our bases
(defense in depth :-)), it's been changed now - to something quite
obscure, and then promptly irretrievably forgotten (having highly
efficiently non-reversiblely encrypted and compressed it, by writing
it to /dev/null).
