This comes back to defining teams which is already being discussed in
another thread. The people that need to be contacted are the sysadmins
team but we need to know how. Right now, the only people that know how
to get a hold of the sysadmins team, is the sysadmins team :P.

As I said previously, we are attacking the wrong problem. The problem
is not detection (although it could be improved), the problem is not
communication (see my 99% remark).

The problem is one of complexity of environment and resources to manage
that environment. This is already being addressed on the sysadmins list
and I expect that it will be resolved within 2 weeks. Does that sound
about right Marc?

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake
