According to Fedex they have now been delivered. Anyone have a
preference which server we setup immediately versus which one will come
online in a few weeks?

Choices:
OSGeo3 - Raid5 ~700GB
OSGeo4 - Raid6 1.2+TB

I'll probably also need a list of SAC members/email addresses for those
who should be given direct logins to the Host machines - I assume Frank
or Howard will furnish that to me. Remember that's just to control the
creating and management of the virtual machines and to rescue LDAP. Each
vm itself will have LDAP like all the current machines.

Thanks,
Alex

Hmmm, didn't I already do so ?

Cheers,

Alex,

The list of Primary Administrators has the people is applicable.

   http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/SAC:Primary_Administrators

I do believe their should be at least one VM without LDAP based
administration - that being the one which host LDAP itself and
perhaps some other services for which security is of the utmost
importance.

It is also possible/likely that we will want to establish additional
LDAP groups for those with shell access for particular VMs. The current
shell access group is quite large and might not be suitable for machines
we want administered carefully.

Best regards,
