As little importance as this is with the bigger picture at hand, if his
boss did ask for his password(s) then he was directly asking his
employee
to violate the Athena Rules of Use, not to mention violating them
himself.=20
2. Don't let anyone know your password(s).
3. Don't violate the privacy of other users. (asking for a password is
not
specifically listed, but I think it qualifies)
Again, small peanuts compared to the rest of the action, but I'd say
it's
still important to point out. If the passwords were revealed, they
should
be changed immediately, and perhaps the violation should be reported to
IS.
