The Spring itself

www.spring.com is not currently writing log files. access.spring.com is being rebuilt by Matt. Matt will be reinstalled makewebserver and makedns on access We are experimenting with setting up some dedicated domains on a Windows NT 4.0 Server at bastrop.net (austen.com and golftravel.net were set up today); they finally have their two ip servers registered with the Nic. (these domains should be resolving within a few days). We need a newuser script which works like this: 1. user signs in as new without a password 2. user answers questions derived from a text file 3. answers are written to a tab text file and an email is sent to the user. 4. The information necessary to create new accounts is stored ina script 5. sudoers run a program which reviews each new account and allows 3 actions: a. create the account b. nuke it c. put it on hold 6. an email is automatically sent out telling new users they have been accepted dereived from a text file. This needs to run in a telnet session and on the website.

Terry, re the new user script. How tight is Dave with some of his other clients, like the Mac site which has invented a wheel similar to this already? Seems to me as if there could be some sharing among us.

The guy who does Gamespot is already helping us by setting up the newest version of Apache on http://access.spring.com He's Ian Kallen and he may turn out to be a terrific resource. His email is mailto://spidaman@well.com

Oh, I have seen him poking around in the shell.

Check out his yapp site, he's dealing with a lot of yapp issues: http://www.gamespot.com Should I invite him to this conference?

] invite him to this conference? __ Yes. Come Spidaman.

I extended him an invitation, maybe Ian knows about mime types.
