Re: [Tools-team] Minutes from the 17 May 2006 Teleconference

Hi Tero,

I've added myself as user, and looked at things.  Looks like it's going
forward nicely.

The cron script functionality is probably already in place on the tools
servers; we'll have to talk about exactly what you need, and if there's
anything not already being done, I can add it.

Also, my single login/password system for the tools servers is almost in
place; I have the basics in place in command-line form and only need to
put the web-service shell there too.  We should make sure this works
together, once we move the tool.  (I think that should be pretty easy,
since both mechanisms use the apache server http: authentication mechanism,
if I've understand your implementation correctly).

Best,

	Henrik
