Just so it is publicly archived, as I said in private email this is not
a real user. At least not in the sense that a person can log in. I did
not provide any additional people shell rights or any such thing.

I created the user so the user would be responsible for the service is
provides. As the machine (community2) only allows key based auth, there
is no way to even get into that user directly.

In fact I actually kind of wonder if we should have done this through
PMT, with tickets etc..
