= Services =


 * LDAP (on .74.220)
 * Plone (on .74.220)
 * HTTPD (on .74.220)

= Known Issues =


 * .216/.217/.218/.219: need Admin group in sudoers file.
 * .74.220 is not using ldap authentication for shell access.
 * Access to LDAP server needs to be restricted to specific machines somehow?
 * We have to create userids on the LDAP server manually, can't be done through plone without a lot of work.
 * Plone instance is not using LDAP for authentication.

Service Groups
Currently, shell access is limited to users in the LDAP schema under the "Shell" group. No further group authorization/granularity exists at this time. It is desireable to have "Shell" be broken into groups like "Database", "Subversion Admin", etc to distribute the administration of those tasks.
