[sudo-discuss] [omni-discuss] someone keeps leaving the front door unlocked

[Torrie Fischer]

Notes are cool and all but they don't work too well if people just
ignore them.

Folks seem to already be ignoring this mailing list and other cultural
forces that request the door be kept close.

I'm in favor of rekeying the lock and making sure that whoever gives
out the new keys has a stern conversation with keyholders about this
sort of thing.
