Alan,

I observe that you are in the "sac" group:

   https://www.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/auth/ldap_shell.py?group=sac

and so should be able to login to the Trac machine.  You might need someone
to add sudo permissions.  I'd suggest Chris or Howard do that since they
seem to be primarily responsible for the services on this VM and should
effectively ok the request.

I have also, from time to time, had a need for handling security related
issues and wished there was a way of restricting access to the corresponding
tickets for a while.

Best regards,
--
