Plans were made for another try at full installation on CCN's new
server. Carrie Gates will assemble a team to meet on Saturday.
Steps are:
- Solaris
- Solaris diffs
- Use CSuite 1.0 -
- break install after unpacking
- apply diffs
- continue install
Once installed,
- set up some test accounts
- NFS mount CCN info tree and test httpd
- modify "g(o who" to consolidate who lists from multiple servers.
- decision time for new modems, by December 8:
- roll out new lines with new server, goal Jan 1.

It was proposed that we discuss the possibility of hiring someone to
drive the new server effort, working on refining and testing the
system, adding the modems etc.
Topic List
It was discussed that the mail system was ignoring the .forward file
occasionally. Various users seem to average about one message per
month placed in the original mailbox instead of being forwarded.
No explanation was reached.
