Preferably somebody who understands Python.
If we don't have other daemons' configuration in AFS, then we won't make provisions for Bind or Mailman either. I'm not opposed to giving Bind administration to J. Leitgeb. If at least one other board member (so, Adam Chlipala or Nathan Kennedy) are for it, we'll go that way.

I liked that option best, and the Apache 1.3 is still surprisingly well used all around, it's not like adding support for it in Domtool2 would be a complete waste. Adam C., please implement Apache 1.3 support in Domtool2. -doc _______________________________________________ HCoop-SysAdmin mailing list [email protected] http://hcoop.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hcoop-sysadmin
