Ok, everyone can now feel free to continue signing up rmg@mit.edu for all those spam lists. The account no longer exists. The password for the nonexistent account, should you require it, is "a3nadotdie", a brief commentary on the account's status as cruft and a slight play on the hostname below

For the case of Athena, no. You can already tell whether a username exists by trying to send it mail: non-existent usernames properly bounce. The secret part is your password.

Well, ok, but things that can receive mail aren't necessarily shell accounts. I suppose there's also "ls /afs/athena.mit.edu/user/..." from pretty much any afs-capable machine.

You should be warned that, um, posting the password actually does still allow people to do stuff with your kerberos principal.

Don't worry, I changed the password for him.

Apparently not, since xel_ just did for real.
