We could use some expert peer review for a bridging firewall I am setting
up for CCIL.org

I'll talk to one of our techs about that.  I would point you to our
website, but the disk crashed yesterday.

I can do that.  And we can host them for you here at CCIL too.  We have
exim and mailman setup for virtual domains.  CCIL is in West Chester too,
so you are closer than I am.

We can talk about that too.  Were using both ldap and shadow passwds now,
with mixed results.  These damn ldap servers don't seem to be able to take
much load on Debian potato, its a dated release of openldap.

Someone gave a talk on esmith at PLUG.  Maybe that person could help.
