Heh, I work for the gov't...I'm not even sure if SOX applies to them.

Gack! No way am I telling them about that - Then they'll want us to stand
up a sharepoint server. We don't have sharepoint. We don't have exchange
either. In fact, the only Windows machines we do have are the desktops
that management (and a few others) use and 1 Windows box that runs some
network scanning software that we are required to have. No thanks, nfs
works just fine for sharing files across our LAN, and actually we already
have some really expensive Oracle-equivalent to sharepoint that management
made us get that no one ever uses if we needed to share files with people
outside of our LAN.
