Actually, this isn't entirely true. Here's the summary of the seul machines
that are on-site at MIT. (There are a couple more around the country, such
as corsica.seul.org and sigma.seul.org.)

Belegost:
Dual P5/200mmx running at uni 166mhz currently
224 megs ram
2.1gig WD 11ms drive
6.5gig seagate 9ms drive
Runs majordomo/dns for all projects in the seul domain
Runs www.seul.org
Mirrors ftp.redhat.com (rh42, rh51, contrib) at www.mirrors.seul.org

Moria:
K6/200, 128 megs ram, 3.2gig drive. Roger's personal server, can function
as backup when necessary.

Cran:
AMD 586/133, 32 megs ram, 1.5gig drive.
Initial mx for all seul domains (passes majordomo traffic to belegost)
Serves web, ftp, cvs for seul subprojects

What will the story be for these in terms of security/admin? Will the
company providing the machine maintain its security? (do we trust them
to do it correctly?) Will they give us root, so we can update things?
