    13 Another useful option here is to set a password, so you don't need certs to log
    14 in (and so you can use the zephyrbot).  The zephyrbot will take commands to -c
    15 scripts -i [ticket number] of the form /set status=resolved or /set
    16 owner=geofft.  You need to drop a file in /mit/geofft/web_scripts/rt/rt-passwords

     15your password on each page load if you don't have certs) and so you can use
     16the zephyrbot).  The zephyrbot will take commands to

     37If you're adding a *comment* (such as when you're forwarding a cname request
     38on to IS&T), don't use the 'To:' field, because it'll be clobbered by our
     39RT scrips and the mail won't actually go to the destination you added.
     40Instead, you should use the 'Cc:' field.  Similarly, if you're adding
