Sam, trac usernames are case sensitive, Jim is not the same as jim, so he won't have got a email about the existence of this ticket, but he should get one now.

Done and email sent by Aegir.

Note all users should be using their LShell SSH access where possible -- root access isn't necessary for 99% of tasks, and doing things to files as root when within the TN user's realm (the user that 'owns' the Aegir/Octopus? instance) will cause ownership/permissions errors.

Note that when a user does actually need be root but wants to quickly use the TN user, there's an alias I set up of totn. Ctrl-D to return back to root.

All TTechs have access to the various github repositories. I, Ed and Chris are the owners for now, and I don't think we need more/less than this for now...

Done, closing.

Replying to jim:

Agreed, have been chatting with Sam about this in IRC, I suggested doing things as the tn user:

sudo -i
su - tn -s /bin/bash

totn is an alias of su - tn -s /bin/bash and a lot easier to remember! Check .bash_aliases for root, some handy stuff in there...
