Hi,

and sorry for this taking so long. Some of the keys in
$HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys for some of you have been removed if we
could not verify that theese keys were safe.

Again, please make sure [2] you are not using any week keys on any of
your systems.

We also want you all to change your password on the Skolelinux
servers. This is done with the command 'passwd' on the host
ldap.skolelinux.no. Your new password will start working after maximum
six hours. 1st of July we will revoke access for the users that have
not changed their passwords.
