Transparency does not imply an intentional lack of security.  Writing
down passwords is a bad idea.  Bad idea.  Bad idea.  After spending
months getting dewey et al barely working, I'd rather not sacrifice
that by having someone log in and mess with things.  There are three
people who have access to configure dewey via their logons and sudo:
Me, Zach, and Arun.  All three live in town, all three have phones,
and all three have extensive experience with unix.  That seems like
more than enough redundancy to me.
