[maemo-developers] MADDE 'developer' account - good or bad?

[From: ronan.maclaverty at nokia.com]

Hi,
Earlier in the summer I tried with "root" using the password authentication scheme - it worked. If you use "user" then you do not need to use the key mechanism, the password does not change frequently like the "developer" password.

(I haven't tried the "user" account or the key scheme with any account other than "developer", so I don't know if this helps your case.)

Ronan.
