Intrusion update
Mike McGrath sent a link [1] to the list about the intrusion which was sent to the fedora-announce-list earlier.[2]
Mike said that he was waiting to discuss authentication mechanisms for the fedora-servers, Since passwords+ssh keys are not the most secure authentication mechanism. Also it seems that fedora does not have the budget for any RSA token like system for authentication.
There was a lot of discussion on this thread, with various people proposing different authentication mechanisms which could be used.
DennisGilmore started a similar thread about Auth Mechanims[3] on which he discussed using etoken or Yubikey for authentication. It was a two factor authentication and therefore was more secure than passphrase or ssh keys.
