This is great stuff Hugh! :) I'm glad I haven't been seized, questioned
or anything like that ;)

I would like to see something like this, however it would take a consistant approach to it, ie: 'no days off'

Maybe admins need to 'sign in' to axxs.org via making such a statement,
before being able to get ssh access .. or maybe a script on ssh access,
that has to be filled out (once a day) upon login, or else emails the
list stating that a user failed to submit their 'warrant' and denies
access.

Yes, yet _another_ project ;) something I can't take on at the moment
doh :\
