We also got a request via the sysadmin@ alias, but as the request was made public on the mailing list I felt it was better to respond on the mailing list. https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Service/Account is probably where Ian's "service account" comes from. It's an easy mistake to make; assuming a Wiki page title is well understood across the sprawling web presence. The account types could be Wiki, Shell, or Mail. (At the moment, people need shell accounts to publish Python 3 activity releases to v4.activities.sugarlabs.org. We could set up accounts with preloaded commands in authorized_keys to do this, eventually. But for the moment I've been avoiding creating accounts and doing the releases myself. Ian hasn't made any commits to activities yet, so I didn't think it likely he wanted a shell account.) > > -- > D.
