Passwords...

[Earl Moniz <emoniz@CHRISTCOM.NET>]

My recommendation to you would be to make one person at the end
of EVERY day responsible for changing all the passwords - then
it does not matter if anyone gives them out, they aren't any good!
If you have a friend who would like to generate a few hundred
passwords ahead of time, then you could assign them each day
when your last helper comes in and in that fashion, you would
also know what they are to check on the reliability of your
helper from time to time. . .
This person must be very reliable to not let anyone else
know that the passwords are changed everyday... AND
that he/she is the one that does it. . .
If the overnight time frame is too tempting for that person,
you might make a person responsible for it at the beginning
of each day. . .
As a last resort (if no reliable students are found), you can
change them daily yourself and let the student helpers know
what they are when they come in each day. . .

An aspect that would make this system feasible and easy to
work with is to have all the passwords the same on all machines
each day. . . and it cuts down on the time for changing them.

As the idea catches on and the kids believe that they are changed
everyday, you might extend it to two or three days - and if you are
REALLY lucky - weekly!

I hope these suggestions help you decide. . .
