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

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

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

Tanner can probably best explain what he's been trying to accomplish on 
his end, which is the real backbone of all of the other services we'd 
like to provide.  We're talking about a secure single sign-on solution 
so one account will get you into everything TriLUG provides.  That, my 
friends, is the bottleneck.  I don't know if Tanner needs help with that 
but if you are a guru in SASL/LDAP/Kerberos you might want to join the 
sys at trilug.org mailing list and offer a hand.

Once that is in place we can pretty rapidly get the mail services up and 
running.  So mail itself is not being a pain.  It's the single sign on 
mess.

Friday night we're spending a few hours banging on this donated server 
to see what we can accomplish.  I hope to have more to share then.
