Right now, it's restricted by IP address to just BU campus. My understanding
is that with the relaxed export restrictions, we're all good and could just
have a warning banner asking people for whom it is illegal to please go
away. But I'm waiting on word from legal people here.

Sure, pick away. :) One of my side-projects is going to be setting up a
UniLinux mailing list, for universities working on similar projects.
(There's quite a few.)

Lots to set up originally. I've been working non-stop on it since the
beginning of the year, with some help from about four other people (+
testers). I'm firmly of the belief that this initial effort is worth it --
it will reduce a lot of effort later, especially in security incidents.
As for keeping things up to date, well, we'll see. Had a taste of how
that'll be when moving from RH 6.2beta to RH 6.2 final (which was a fairly
significant change, due to the addition of all the krb5 stuff). That took
about two days -- not bad. And, it's all work that otherwise needs to be
done on a system-by-system basis.
