Well, I made the account work again.

But I didn't do the "go into the code, and for the password changing function make it fail when username==cypherpunks" part.

stopped working again.

I recreated cypherpunks, now it works (?)

No

I suggest using a script to sed the cypherpunks account back to a fixed / known good digest. E.g.:

while inotifywait -e modify /path/to/.htpasswd; do echo sed to fixed good for your auth here. done

Why you need cpunks account? Devs will ignore you anyway, with cpunks or another account either. Drop trac, don't waster your time. In the name of sanity.

[Removed yet another instance of that stupid .SVG]

At the time of writing this, the cypherpunks account again does not work.

Bob fucked with it (again?). We really should modify trac to prevent this from happening, though that likely won't happen till after people are back from CCC.

I reset the password. However we need to find a better solution.

Happy new year! It's happening again!

Seems like a cat and mouse game. Is it not possible to lock down the password of cypherpunks so it cannot be changed?
