Yup, that's what I meant. No special cases for hcoop.net mappings. > If you're really uneasy about doing this, and no one else wants the job, > I wouldn't mind coming back as an admin in a limited capacity, perhaps > as a "name resolution admin." I have a feeling you'd need root access to do this, and every extra person with root access is a liability, so I'd rather have a less experienced person among the current admins in charge. > Related to this, I wrote a quick program > before that would parse the old domtool text files and tell users about > where possible errors were that would result in a crippled DNS setup for > their domains.

I think, at the least, this is something that we would start doing concurrently with migrating a few initial members, rather than adding it to our list of things blocking migration. I'm very much in favor of it, and it has the nice property of being doable without root privileges, so perhaps you'll get your wish of being assigned the task! :D _______________________________________________ HCoop-SysAdmin mailing list [email protected] http://hcoop.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hcoop-sysadmin
