[committee] Please remember to lock the machine room when you close the room

[oxinabox at ucc.asn.au]

Hi all,
I got in today and notice the machine room door was closed,
with the lock hooked over,
but the lock itself was not actually locked.

I would thus like to remind all door members that when you leave the 
clubroom to check the machine room is locked.
I would further suggest that when leaving the machine room unlocked,
it should be obviously unlocked, eg with the lock hooked over the handle 
rather than the latch,
and/or the door actually open.
(heat is not much of an issue right now.)

It is important to lock the machine room,
it not only holes tens of thousands of dollars of equiptment.
(which unlike the desktops are not seperately padlocked down).
We also assert that data in the machine room is physically secure.
That is noone can steal the disk with your home directory on it, and 
just put it in a machine wehre they have root.
UCC does not encrypt use directories.

I know that since the machine room key was put in the keysafe,
more people (than just wheel), now have access.
So perhaps it is a good time for a reminder that it needs to be locked.
