Wm, I'd be interested in helping the NSS with this. In my day job, I'm a cisco network engineer, but I do deal with UNIX and Linux servers, I donate server time and admin the TexasCavers mailing list as well as a couple of the local grotto's lists and websites. My professional resume mainly deals with my career but it does touch on my UNIX background a bit. I have dealt with securing UNIX servers, as well as securing networks. I am more familiar with BSD than I am Linux, but I do know my way around, as I use it as my primary workstation at my office, as well as administering a couple of of RedHat and Ubuntu servers.
I will admit, I'm certainly no expert on CGI, PHP or Perl, but I am familiar with them enough to know to leave it to the experts. I've programmed in C, BASIC, Fortran, in the past, as well as shell, TCL and Expect scripts as well as a small bit of PHP.. If you need references from the caving community, any of the active DFW Grotto, Cowtown Grotto or TSA members would be a good place to start. I'll be happy to provide any other information you need.
