What we do is have a file readable only by root stored in a particular place, known to the sysadmins, our boss and our boss's boss (the latter two not using it, but knowing that this is the "everyone hit by a bus" document). The file in question is referred to on the wiki as "password in the usual place." A suitable combination of actual security and a bit of obscurity ;-) The threat model is not a malicious intruder, but a well-meaning co-worker - the latter is ten times as damaging. - d. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
