@KronoS: Yes, I'm aware that the communities and sites are very different.  Compared to Bicycles. SE: SF is a significantly larger site.  SF has a larger pool of active close-voters.  SF is significantly more tolerant of rude behavior.  SF is better about closing not-constructive questions quickly.  SF is much less likely to hold the hands of new users.

@Ladadadada: I believe I can handle the load.  On bicycles.se, I average 1 or 2 flags a day.  I believe a tenfold increase would be quite manageable.

@Iain: I thought an election for 2 spots needed more than 3 candidates, and I do believe I would do a good job.  I really don't expect to win, given that there's a couple candidates with much higher rep (and other metrics) now. 

ssh public key authenticationIs your public key in .ssh/authorized_keys on the server?  Is your private key in one of the standard files in .ssh on your client?

clone ip and mac addr on wlan@george The switch keeps track of which MAC is on which port, so when you put the same MAC on a second port it loses track of that MAC on the first port.  MAC addresses are supposed to be unique, so cloning a MAC breaks things.
