Re: Locally Administered servers

[David Lundy <dlundy () PACIFIC EDU>]

We have three campuses and servers in IT units at each.  With rare exceptions we require servers that are not directly 
managed by our IT people to be colocated in our data center.  IT staff manages patching for most of these.  All 
externally visible IP/Ports must be approved by IT security before being opened through the exterior firewall.  While 
we don't have a release form for server administration, we do have an "open port request form" for requesting a port to 
be enable through the firewall.

At least three departments here run their own servers.  They must obtain 
access to the internet as a server through our firewall which we 
control.  The main thing that we have as a security restriction is that 
they cannot operate an email server.  We require that all incoming emails 
come through a central server and that all outgoing emails leave through a 
central server.
