DanielLawson and PerryLorier have been doing some work with LDAP enabled services for small organisations. Their first project was to write a scalable mail hosting system backed out of LDAP. (ScalableMailServers?). DanielLawson also did some work on doing Proxy and Samba administration for CrawshawSchool. Thus the idea was borne to create some packages for Linux allowing people to provide services for an organisation.

Goal

To provide reliable, scalable and secure services for an organisation.

Features

Initial Featureset:

• Mail Administration using the mail system as described by DanielLawson
• Samba Administration
• Proxy Administration

• Intranet webhosting

  • A Wiki for documentation?
  • Nagios for service monitering
• Extranet webhosting
• DHCP
• DNS
• Firewalling/IPMasqurading
• postgresql(?) database
• LDAP
• A pluggable extensible architecture

We would like help from the WLUG and greater Linux community to help with this goal.
