Mersenne: List of Contributors Companies or Schools?

[Michael Clark]

Hello,

A group of students here at Virginia Tech have formed a group here to
promote distributed computing. The Computer Science department is
interested in participating, but are hesitant to join GIMPs (or
distributed.net). One of their questions is "What other companies or
schools are participating?" I have read the link for the University of
Albany. If there is anyone else out there representing a school or company,
or who has permission to use someone else's computer systems, I'd greatly
appreciate hearing from you.

BTW, the student group is called the Cooperative Computing Consortium. Our
web page is at http://www.ccc.vt.edu . Thanks, Mike

Mersenne: Password safety

[Michael Clark]

What (if any) are the concerns with having an account's password and user
ID posted on a web page? Would someone be able to change the "Your Name"
and "Your email address" fields with them? So if my school set up a web
page to encourage people to join our team, could someone come along and
usurp our work? Also, what would happen if someone changed (or deleted) the
existing UserID and password in the middle of a LL test? Thanks very much,
Michael
