[TriLUG] It times like these that I wish TriLUG had an RH Update server

[Thunder Bear]

Yow!  This is what I get for having my RR broken...

A couple of the SC guys volunteered to come to my house to help rapidly=20=

assemble a server for various mail purposes.  The server was donated=20
shortly after the last meeting (more details coming) and is a nice=20
little  dual processor box.  If this were going on during the daytime=20
when my baby is awake I'd make this a more open even so it isn't elitism=20=

or anything that is causing this to be a closed meeting.

Unfortunately we've been a bit behind on letting the membership know=20
what is going on.

Tanner can probably best explain what he's been trying to accomplish on=20=

his end, which is the real backbone of all of the other services we'd=20
like to provide.  We're talking about a secure single sign-on solution=20=

so one account will get you into everything TriLUG provides.  That, my=20=

friends, is the bottleneck.  I don't know if Tanner needs help with that=20=

but if you are a guru in SASL/LDAP/Kerberos you might want to join the=20=

sys@trilug.org mailing list and offer a hand.

Once that is in place we can pretty rapidly get the mail services up and=20=

running.  So mail itself is not being a pain.  It's the single sign on=20=

mess.

Friday night we're spending a few hours banging on this donated server=20=

to see what we can accomplish.  I hope to have more to share then.
