I don't, I'm afraid. I know Kerberos exists, but that's about it.

I feel a little fuzzy trying to interpret what Kaiting is saying, though.
Apparently, there are some problems that he can't solve. Yet, he also
offers to complete the setup within a day or two. I'm not sure how that
fits together.

Also, I'm confused because he seems to be asking for confirmation whether
we really want that account or not. I thought that's clear? If Kaiting has
the means to provide us with server space for a binary ArchHaskell
repository, then yes, by all means, please do it. If we had that access to
that server, we could start providing packages for i686 pretty much *right
now*. On my end, everything is set up, ready, and waiting to go.

Take care,
Peter
