    alpha-osf-managers_at_ornl.gov.
1:  This list is NOT moderated!  Every message that is sent to the
    list will be passed on to every member of the list (with a few
    small exceptions).
2:  This mailing list is managed by a utility called Majordomo.  You
    can subscribe to the list by sending a message like: 
        subscribe alpha-osf-managers
    to Majordomo_at_ornl.gov.  Likewise, if you want to remove yourself
    from the list, send the message:
        unsubscribe alpha-osf-managers
    to the same address.
    For a complete list of Majordomo commands, use the command:
        help
3:  This list is intended to be a quick-turnaround troubleshooting
    aid for those who administer and manage Alpha AXP systems runnning 
    Digital UNIX (formerly OSF/1).  Its primary purpose is to provide
    the Alpha manager with a quick source of information for
    time-critical system management problems.
4:  Answers to questions are to be mailed back to the questioner and
    are NOT to be sent to the entire list.  The person who originally
    asked the question has the responsibility of summarizing the
    answers and sending the entire summary back to the list.  When a
    summary is sent back to the list, it should contain the word
    "SUMMARY" as the first  word of the "Subject" line.
5:  Discussions on ANY topic are very strongly discouraged and will
    not normally be tolerated.
6:  If it is not specifically related to Alpha AXP/Digital UNIX
    management, then it does NOT belong on this list.  Requests for
    vendor recommendations are tolerated, provided that the product
    in question is something that system managers normally purchase.
7:  Requests for software (free or otherwise) should be limited to
    software that is directly related to Alpha/OSF management.
8:  PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE...Think before you send a message!  Ask
    yourself "is this really appropriate?"  There are enough other
    newsgroups and mailing lists around to cover the marginal topics.
    Perhaps there is another forum that is more appropriate.
