NRAO System Admin Meeting: CV Overview

Observatory-Wide Services

Majordomo: server has 125 lists (counting digest variants); Easy to use Request Form allows more as needed
Documentation: The Gold Book intended to be Observatory-wide Resource
Directory: Phone book for now. Drives several behind-the-scene resources:
- Personal Page List (auto-generated nightly).
- Auto-Generated Mailing Lists, Observatory-wide and per-site.
- Phone Book Lookup (internal and external versions).
- XTACACS-based 1-800 number dialin authentication (user/password) for all NRAO accounts on CV terminal server (uses phone book, yp, aliases)

... all of which would be a lot easier, more robust, and far more extensible with a real LDAP-based directory!
