is publicly viewable.

The solution to security is, of course, in the long term
not secrecy.

However, I continually freak out about somebody somehow
cracking one or more of the "100%" up-to-date installations,
despite a pretty good security design.

I suppose that if machines are just simply hung, then the security
issues are not immense.  So maybe I'm just proposing common sense
about when to/when not to discuss things on the listserv.

Additionally, we could make lon-capa-dev only viewable to members
which may/may not be advisable for a variety of reasons I imagine.

Regards,
Scott
