Is this list high volume

[David A. Bandel]

Leon,

Well, I set up my servers to use sudo without a password when I have an
account on the system.  But most systems just have keys.  Puppet is set up,
takes care of key control and ensuring /etc/ssh/sshd_config contains
"PermitRootLogin without-password" so only keys will get you in.   Keeps my
myriad servers running smoothly.  I have one professor that likes to remove
my key and change sshd_config to PermitRootLogin no.  Thinks its more
secure that way (moron).  Puppet reverts the change within 30 minutes.

Ciao,

David-
