[plug] Shameless user shell server

[Alexander Hartner]

Hi all,

I would be interested in helping out. How much time would be required ? What tasks will need to be performed ?

Due to my work commitments I am not able to attend evening meeting but I am interested in taking an active role in Plug.

Regards
Alex

The exposure to PLUG continuing to run an open shell sever may be low, but without a commitment to maintain this, there is a chance that an account could be compromised, and all kinds of trouble.

We are interested if there is anyone on the PLUG list would like to maintain the User Shell Server; please email the committee (or me). If you feel passionately about this, please speak up!
