Of course Linpack doesn't stress other important aspects of a supercomputer such as memory bandwidth and interconnect latency. The HPCC benchmark is a better measure of performance on real-world applications. Cray systems do very well on HPCC as well.
You should check out the Hurderos project. The goal of Hurderos is to create a framework for directory and authentication using open tools. In other words, an open-source equivalent of Active Directory and NDS.
Although the project is in its infancy, it has really good ideas for integrating identity management, authn, and authz.
That's not true at all. The MTA is not dead. Cray shipped two MTA-2 systems including a 40-processor system with 160GB of shared memory to the NRL last year.
I am curious if you, Rob, Hemos, Roblimo, and so on, ever read the comments on the articles you post? If you were to jump into discussions more frequently, things could really liven up.

Oh really? Perhaps you should check the latest Top500 list.
From the 11/2005 TOP500 list:
#6 - Cray XT3 - 38TF/s
#10 - Cray XT3 - 20.5TF/s
#14 - Cray XT3 - 17TF/s
#17 - Cray X1E - 15TF/s

I bought said album at one of the local independent record stores here. As I'm paying I look over and who should I see but Sean Nelson, frontman of Harvey Danger. How cool is that?
Yes, it's called mod_auth_kerb. It supports passing GSSAPI creds via the Negotiate protocol.

SecurID for phones exists. You just have to have the right one.
ORNL Cray X1 Evaluation.
The X1 comes out on top on nearly every benchmark.
Use configuration management so you can control and know exactly what is running on your systems.
Papers have been written about automating patch management using cfengine and a database.

This is nothing new. The Cray MTA supports 128 threads per processor and can scale up to 256 processors in a single system.
And the OS is a BSD variant.
NEC Press release mentions SUPER-UX.
NEC SX-6 page has lots of info.
