[Dfey-nw-discuss] Dogfish

[Tim Dobson]

So following discussions it has been agreed to get a VPS.

I've volunteered to semi-administrate it's existence.

We have ordered the lowest spec of VPS from bitfolk.com

Robert L & I have root access due to our ssh keys being installed on the 
root account.

I've changed the root password to something very long and put it in a 
safe place.

I think the idea is that everyone will be able to have an account on it 
though the actual list of people who will have sudo rights is currently 
a bit unclear.

Anyway, the machine has been named dogfish and it will be found at 
dogfish.dfey.org

When it's clear who will have sudo/root access, they will be contactable 
on address@hidden

I suggest that we strongly encourage use of ssh public key 
authentication to log into the machine due to the number of compromises 
that occur due to weak passwords.
