[Bigsister-general] Searching for help (Demo site, sample configuration files)

[Thomas A. <ae...@gr...>]

The last few months Big Sister surprisingly spread out over many many systems.
This actually has some impact on the number of support requests as well as on
the bugs found and eliminated - so we all profit from this.

Many administrators have asked for example configuration files. Since I do
not want to just build a set of "artificial" examples I ask you for help:
Do you have set up a - commented - configuration you are willing to share 
in an "example configuration files pool"? If so please send me your configuration
files so that I can put them onto the project page. For security reasons it
might be a good idea to replace real host names/ip addresses by some imaginary
ones ... I am pretty sure not only newcomers would profit from such a collection
of examples.

Maybe some of you already discovered that the demo server is dead. It seems
that my old 486/33 Linux machine finally decided it was time to say good bye
after being quite busy during the last few months. Are there people among you 
who run a publicly reachable Big Sister server and would not mind have it set 
onto a "Big Sister Servers" list on the Big Sister project page?  Please be aware 
that this has positive and negative consequences (increasing number of hits, 
probably people trying to play with your Big Sister some games).

Any help is appreciated!

Best regards,
Tom
