Thanks Doug for your help.
Cyberorg has been looking for this information from me for some time and
I have to admit. openSIS
keeps me pretty preoccupied.
I am supposing that you already have openSUSE credentials when I suggest
that you join the bugtracker to continue submitting these issues
http://devzilla.novell.com/education/  one set on Novell\openSUSE
credentials is all you need to uses any of the edu teams tools.  Have
you been able to talk to Cyberorg in the IRC? you have to do so before
10 am EST.
Again thanks
