Make sure you create subgroups, or you get jammed latter.
in.ibm.linux.cribbing.customers.who.cant.get.ibm.linux.support.for.netfinity.servers
would be appropriate. :-\

Oh, simple enough - remember I said *.in.ibm.com - but does the IP address
of your client machine resolve to a name like os2.in.ibm.com? Check DNS
settings. Get the IP address of that machine, and run

nslookup ip.address.of.client

and see what it comes up with.

For the moment (and since it is internal, just change the *.in.ibm.com to
* and it will work.

Hey, if one runs Lotus Notes 5.x, you should be able to use the webclient,
right? 

I wish IBM would wake up and make the web-downloadable notes distro on CD
locally. I have been trying in vain to download a copy to try out, but no
go. :-(
