Hi Peter,

That's not the case for us. Scratch (scratch.mit.edu) is functionally
independent of other MIT subdomains. It's an open source programming
language we developed to help kids around the world learn to program.
Scratch only recognizes its own authentication / cookies.

Incidentally, we also have a variety of cnames, like suggest.scratch.mit.edu,
and wiki.scratch.mit.edu, in case that matters.

Thanks,
Amos
