Even if it's *just* writing docs for the community? A lot of people don't seem to realize it, but that's one of the most important things you can do to contribute! In many cases, the code is all there but the only people who know how to use it are the people who wrote it! > I don't have any pratical experience with FreeSWAN at all, however, I have > statically compiled BIND 9 and placed it in a chroot jail on Debian.

I don't know whether or not anything came of it at all. There is a chroot bind HOWTO already. Last I knew, this only addressed bind 8 and did so from either a distribution independent or (worse) a Redhat specific point of view. I'm not sure where you would want to publish your bind 9 docs. Perhaps they'd be put to best use if contributed to the "Securing Debian" howto. Or you could offer them to the author of the chroot bind HOWTO, possibly adding the Debian specific stuff as an appendix to the main document or something. > > I would be glad to contribute to any aspect of Debian itself.

I'd really love to see a relatively major, broadly scoped document linked directly from the www.debian.org, similar to the FreeBSD Handbook. That's my suggestion, anyway. There's plenty of work to be done. noah -- _______________________________________________________ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html
