[axxs-sysadmin] axxs.org request for sudo, or for the services of a sudoer :)

[aketus]

Hi Cameron,

I ssh in to either axxs.org or anarchobase.com as aketus and it lands me 
in the anarchobase.com directory under /home/httpd/vhosts/ etc..

Someone on #oceania, possibly pabs?, gave me ssh one evening when I 
needed to password protect a site or two with .htaccess

That wiki sounds cool, it would be cool to see the axxs.org website 
become more interactive with things like that.
