Hmmm, the best I could say, is that Fletch seems to be the Perl guy, 
although there are certainly others.

Bob Toxen, Jonathan Rickman and Michael Warfield come to mind when I 
think about security.

Networking, well, there's a bunch of them out there, but I'd suspect 
that Steven DuChene  is quite knowledgeable in this area with his 
experiences with clusters and the fact he's been doing Linux a long 
time.  The security guys mentioned above will certainly have a bit of 
background in this are as well.

As for me, I know a little bit about various areas, but couldn't really 
say I'm a 'pert quite yet.  I dabble in network stuff, graphics, perl, 
automation, video capture, firewalls, audio recording, C, java.

Your best bet is to research the problem first, then if you're still 
stuck, post your question to the list.  If someone can help, they will. 
     You'll find all kinds of folks willing to assist and learn along 
with you.

Now I'm game, although there's been a couple of us talked about having a 
meeting at a pub soon.:)

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
