-The machine ftp-master.debian.org is our main archive server. Every
-uploaded package finds it's way there (except for Packages covered by US
-crypto laws which go to non-us.debian.org) eventually. master.debian.org is
-the home of our bug tracking system. Project web pages and CVS archives are
-hosted on klecker.debian.org (aka cvs/www.debian.org), klecker is also our
-general shell server. Web pages should be placed in public_html on klecker
-and refered to by http://people.debian.org/~__LOGIN__

You should use ssh to log into the machines instead of regular telnet
-or rlogin. Our LDAP directory is able to share ssh RSA keys among machines,
-please see <URL:http://db.debian.org/doc-mail.html> Otherwise when you
-first login a ~/.ssh directory will be created with the appropriate
-permissions. Please be aware of the security implications of using RSA
-authentication and ssh agents.

-Login using the password information appended to this email, and
-update your personal information. The information is used to maintain
-your accounts on various Debian machines, and also to allow other
-developers and general users to find out more about you. Many of
-the fields are only visible to other registered Debian developers. This
-is also the only way to change your password. The passwd program does not
