Hey, I'm not an admin for the new machines; it's up to people who are. 
:P I like what we have on fyodor, though, and would be quite happy to 
keep using that set-up on the machines where members can log in. A much 
simpler firewall should suffice on deleuze, if we use one there at all.

You're talking about the constant-factor overhead of connecting to the 
appropriate machine and editing the appropriate file? It's a feature, 
not a bug, to have different cron privileges for different machines, so 
I can't see doing significantly better.
