I'll take a deeper look, but I have a couple of meta comments: - This could arguably go in the security book rather than the admin guide. I don't really have a strong opinion on which is right at the moment, but others might. - Wherever it ends up, can you also please add it to the appropriate index.rst file so it actually gets built with the rest of the docs? Thanks, jon
