(Hi, I'm the tech. guy about the server.) No problem, I recently switched from python 2.3.4 to 2.4.1 on some computer, both seem good. To be tested: in the past, some tools (like Zope) used older versions of python... However, if needed, installing several versions of python is easy. > - A directory to run in no pb. > - The ability to listen on a network port (which you can set Apache to > proxy to) no pb. Of course, I'll need more details on this. As a general rule, I'll try to keep a good overall security scheme, but all customization of port listening, etc... is possible. Including "non standard" ports for ssh, apache, and so on. > - Probably best if I could have shell access to help administrate it Yes, especially in the beginning. Probably ssh key authentication for a limited set of admins. The precise policy will be adapted depending on the soft needs/risks. I mean: does some/all/none softawre will require some limits (chroot, ulimit, quots...) ? Of course, I hope no ;-) Basic guidelines: obtaining the best reliability and security with the minimal waste of time, for evveryone. > - If it needs to access CVS repositories etc then network access for that > > Let me know if you need more information > David yes, but I'll probably make proposals. For axample: CVS authentication system (and CVS admin responsible ?) ? Need of cvsweb ? special needs for backup policy ? Note that all these choices don't need to be "hard coded" from the beginning! I'll setup some various basic services too (ftp, mailman, ...)
