RULES FOR SUPERUSERS

Here are some rules for you who are functioning as super-users
on the CS project machines.  (Naturally, there are many other
rules that you should think up and follow on your own.)

Do not change the root password

Do not change the name of the computer

Do not change entries in the password file unless you
completely understand what you are doing and are sure it is OK.

Do not tell anyone who is not in the class the root password

  Corollary I: do not utter the root password when there is
	       even a remote chance of being overheard

  Corollary II: do not leave the written password where
                unauthorized people can see it.
