Andreas - I am subscribed to the debian-med mailing list so no need to cc me on the emails.
Strange that you can't see my account on Alioth. I just created another one on
Alioth.debian.org.
Username was iankarlwallace-guest on the website. I logged in and sent a request to join the project from FusionForge. Maybe that will fix things?
Currently I am at work and can't test SSH stuff so will have to do that at home once done for the day.
Thanks for the links on the PHP stuff. I took last night and looked at the phpmyadmin source, the package structure and now just need to start re-using some of there items after I know a little more about what I am doing. Am going to print the new maintainers guide book and start working through that.
