Hi Everyone,

Here's the list again which we looked at last week. I've added your
names next to the group you're responsible for. I'd like you to add
to this list whatever you think is appropriate, and on thursday we
can meet briefly to review everything (and look at rob's task system).

Feel free to add other people's names to items within your category
(see Silo Backups below). I've added a some additional topics as well
to the original list.

I think also that between us there are several news groups which should
be read on at least a weekly basis. Here are some suggestions, feel
free to add/remove if you know of other/better news groups:

comp.security.firewalls pfm
comp.dcom.net-management jbh
comp.sys.sgi.misc rea
comp.security.unix pfm
comp.sys.sgi.admin rea
comp.sys.sun.admin aew
comp.unix.solaris pfm
comp.databases.oracle pmc
comp.dcom.lans.ethernet jbh
comp.dcom.lans.fddi jbh

RCC WEB/Oracle Database:
We should follow up on some of the stuff Tucker
was working on earlier this summer. It would be
nice to have a database of all cpus, serial #s,
contacts, etc... Also we should establish a means
by which the rcc web page is regularly updated and
enhanced.
