Well, I've changed the password for 'a13x', tried to login 
to 'alex' account with the same (new) password, it didn't 
work, so it seems that the password is changed just 
for 'a13x' account.

Nevertheless, it would be great if we could resolve this 
issue, since it's potentially very risky situation.

Has anyone contacted the 'alex' account about this issue?
I would be nice to hear his oppinion on this, and also 
notify him that his password is compromised.

Btw, i still think that there's very very little chance 
that this is *just* coincidence..

Regards, alex.

You're right, I can see that the passwords for "alex" and 
"a13x" are identical! That's either a lucky coincidence or 
a bug in Savannah. Could you please change your password
(a13x's one; do not touch alex's) and let me know to see 
whether the passwords become different?
