So how *do* you pronounce "ose"?
Is it important ? I could ask you how you pronounce Linux - but then that would really fill up Rogers mailing list with messages :-)
The main restriction is likely to be that we need a server on which we can get full root access
Agreed - but it has to be that the appropriate members of the admin team can get root access - we do not want this to rely on one person - do you have anything else on this server ? Kevin.

Ambiguous pronunciation can be a problem - believe it or not, it can even discourage newcomers from asking about something if they don't know how to pronounce its name (it was very obvious at BETT 2001 that some visitors were uncomfortable saying the word "Linux" and, even worse, "PostgreSQL"!). > > The main restriction is likely to be that we need a server on which > > we can get full root access > Agreed - but it has to be that the appropriate members of the admin > team can get root access - we do not want this to rely on one person > - do you have anything else on this server ? Yes - the Fen Systems web site and mail server will also be hosted there. I don't anticipate that root access will be needed on a *regular* basis - a much more elegant and secure solution is to create an "osieadmin" group that has write access to all the relevant configuration files, so I don't think it is necessary (or desirable) to allow a whole team to have root access. I am prepared to grant root access to Roger (in his UKUUG role), on the understanding that it is for emergency backup purposes. Michael
