realname: Foo Bar
ssh_keys: [ssh-rsa mykeyhash foobar@mac]
+# NOTE: To choose the UID for a new user please lookup
+# the existing UID in (labs) LDAP and use that.
+# currently you do this on silver, example:
+#
+# ldaplist -l passwd someuser
+# ...
+# uidNumber: 1234
+#
+# advantages: no more duplicate UIDs that needed fixing,
+# matching UID across production and labs,
+# no need to grep|sort for the latest free UID anymore
+# almost every user who gets prod. shell already has a
+# labs user. if not, ask them nicely to make one first
+
+# NOTE: SSH keys added to this file always need to be verified.
+# acceptable methods of verification include:
+# gpg signing, having them pasted on office wiki user pages,
+# having them +1 by logged in gerrit users
+# unacceptable methods include:
+# plain email (senders can't be trusted),
+# IRC (definitely if not registered/identified with nickserv)
+# RT-only (because it can be emailed)
