[redhat-lspp] LSPP test machine

[Russell Coker]

Would it be helpful if I setup a LSPP test machine for public access?  I
could provide administrative access to a small group of trusted people
as well as guest access to anyone who wants it.

The machine would be hosted on my home cable connection, this makes it
very slow for sending data (quite good for ssh sessions but bad for
scp).  It would however be able to download files from the net at speeds
over 300KB/s (so tracking rawhide would be easy and pleasant).  The
usual caveats of shared servers would apply (don't login with X or auth
forwarding, don't trust any files copied from the machine, etc).  The
machine would also be on the sub-net I reserve for hostile hosts (so you
want to get the ssh host key setup correctly and not use a Windows
client).

If there is a need I could place such a machine in the server room of a
friendly company.  That would give much higher transmission speeds,
lower speeds for receiving data, and a less hostile local network, but
if it crashes I couldn't easily fix it (would be annoying if a kernel
upgrade goes bad).


Let me know what you desire in this regard.
