I've chosen not to install an ftp server at all on the new server. I'm concerned that if I add one, the server is likely to be cracked easily. * bandwidth. As popular as these downloads are, they would likely choke all the available bandwidth on the new server, leaving little for the we and email services. Also, USDC probably wouldn't be thrilled abou the added load; as I recall, that was one of the big concerns we had at Verio when tarnhelm was hosted there. * membership. We don't have a formal membership list, so there's no clear way of determining who gets access. I suppose someone could open a throwaway account on someplace like geocities for this purpose; I don't know if that's consistent with their usage policies, though. - -- John Abreau / Executive Director, Boston Linux & Unix ICQ 28611923 / AIM abreauj / JABBER jabr at jabber.org / YAHOO abreauj Email jabr at blu.org / WWW http://www.blu.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iQCVAwUBO9cURVV9A5rVx7XZAQEomgQArMifxKL4Gd/LSiloI4gQH85GrlO3smW9 AKX8sJdOX9+c9tutOPBV+QjyUnBULnX9YidJ2cigbubvto4689g5q9xeLJf4rnI5 OQjoO/plzg1fL4Uwq0lavcp2uyvVz2A5Mg4VzTi7GUXbBzY0ZsXY7H1keuCQCWOV YbFbU5pqrLA= =vT1d -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- - Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" on the first line of the message body to discuss-request at blu.org (Subject line is ignored).
