Pleading and grovelling

by Matthew Davidson

Hi, When registering my team I foolishly declined to request any Ubuntu Feisty CDs as I had already ordered sufficient for SFD from Canonical. Of course my special request for a bulk quantity was declined by Canonical, and now I'm left with fewer CDs than I would expect to distribute in an average month, never mind SFD. I know it's dangerously late, but does anybody know at whose feet I should prostrate myself to get an emergency stock?

I don't know if its the reason: Some people have a bad password habbit: They use one password for several sites. If someone intercept the message with the password in, only your account on softwarefreedomday.org will be compromised. Also if a eg. a server harvest a e-mails, including the one with your password in it, your account will not be vulnerable after you have updated your password on softwarefreedomday.org. If it is compromised before you update your password you would be aware of it when you try to login to change your password (becaurse you are have to change it). Other than that, i can't se the purpose... :-/ -- Regards Georg Sluyterman njlug.dk, Aalborg, Denmark

Also how is this in any way more secure? If someone intercepts my mail they can logon with my encrypted password in the same way I might, and change my password? It's not a big deal, just odd.

Dear Alan, Putting the encrypted password would log you in. You can then change your password and other details. The reason why it's not cleartext is mentioned on the UserPreferences page: "...if someone intercepts the mail, he won't know your REAL password".
