* jkit: change account form
	if online - not simple to implement
	automating the account approval process: Calnet Authentication
	if automatic, then cannot verify identity 
	how to integrate old system into new system? -  rereg!
	legal to record id's - ok to record as long as have permission
	one solution: get written permission from now on
	changes on the account form:
		added clause strong language that username must
	be based on the real name
		     removed enter password clause
		     added in disclosure: any information provided on this
	form may be recorded by us for administrative purposes
	need to put the reason for keeping the id, need to increase the font because will not be enforcable if too small
	how can keep account forms? - legally
	just to keep just a separate table of SID's
	staff needs to start asking: "Do you already have an account?"
	when approve an account - make sure the entire name is on the
	form as stated on the ID
	whats the added value?
	      can prevent dublicate accounts
	yury is going to look up Calnet Authentication stuff and
	implement the necessary code

* mattfong: www.ocf.berkeley.edu
	forwarding from ocf.berkeley.edu to www.ocf.berkeley.edu
	mattfong is going to look into redirect headers

* mbh: willing to donate of 700Mhz Athlon
        has 2 HD's with Linux and Windows    
	
* frank: still not getting staff email
        dwc: enjoy your spam

* mattfong: procmail for staff
	staff mail goes to staff instead of expanding it
	then send out to everybody on the staff list
	idea - kill spam once, instead of sending it out to everyone
	spam killed once - then tagged - then sent to user, only then
	     procmail
	somebody needs to be responsible for checking spam addressed
		 to staff which could be good mail
	geo and mattfong volunteered to take care of procmail

* dima: are we enforcing ocf banner on virtually hosted student group
  webpages
	yes, send the list to SM and they will be punished
