Hi there,

just FYI: I have changed the password handling on vmrepo a bit. Instead of 
setting arbitrary passwords for each standard user (committer, not sudoer), 
I have deleted all passwords for those users ('passwd -d'). This has the 
effect of disallowing a user change via 'su' completely and should be a 
better protection than to rely on an unknown/unmaintained password.

For sudoers, this isn't possible, as they need to have a proper password 
set in order to type it in whenever 'sudo' asks for it ;-)

I have changed the administrative documentation accordingly.

cheers,
        Oliver
