I saw your mail message earlier to walter about the pf accounts.
Here are some excerpts from mail messages between me and Walter that may
be helpful to you in making any further changes:
Some of these you may have already seen, the last message may be of particular
interest:

Hi Walter,
I felt that it was about time I clean up the login accounts for your group.
I've made several changes, so let me know as soon as something doesn't work
right. I think things are much better organized now.
The DS project is divided into 2 groups: full time employees and students. In
general each system provides access to one or both groups. In certain cases
we can add individuals access to particular hosts (see mike5 below).
I have changed evan to evan5 and dalves5 to dalves to be consistent. I realize
dalves account is still active for historical purposes only. You may need to
let evan know that his ID is now "evan5" (everything else is the same).
The two groups are:
ds_users: ari, bill, chao, dalves, dave, idc, karenv, whc
(the idc account is for instructional services)
ds_dig_users: alan5, ben5, bob5, chris5, craig5, craigl5, el5, evan5,
iain5, james5, jasond5, jeff5, jenn5, jennf5, kristin5,
mark5, matt5, melissa5, mike5, mikes5, nathand5, peg5,
stanley5, stef5, suli5, tom5
The CPUs used by your group currently include:
Host backup groups/users allowed fiber
---- ------ -------------------- -----
amazon silo ds_users, ds_dig_users x
blackbird NA
cici silo ds_users, ds_dig_users x
global silo ds_users, ds_dig_users x
igapo Global ds_users, ds_dig_users x
japura silo ds_users, ds_dig_users x
madeira Global ds_users, mike5 x
pyramid silo ds_users
tapajos Global ds_users, mike5 x
trombetas silo ds_users, ds_dig_users
wintermute ds_users
xingu silo ds_users, ds_dig_users
Based upon recent mail messages from evan, and other messages from you in
the past, these accounts need more access than the other students:
kristin, mike, evan, jeff, and stef
I will request that these people have access added to pyramid from Nancy.
Other than that let me know if you'd like any other changes made (they
currently don't have access to madeira, pyramid, tapajos, and wintermute).
The tape drive on global is used to backup hosts, verify the off site backup
tapes, and miscellaneous tasks like exchanging data or making quick archives.
I will add igapo, madeira, tapajos, and wintermute to SILOs backup schedule
today. The backups to silo have been going extremely well, and this will
remove your dependency on global's tape drive for system backups.
A high density 8mm tape drive on amazon would be nice, but unless there is
a specific need, I'd recommend having csrc replace the drive on global and
using it. Especially since you have another 8mm drive on tapajos.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Most of the group organization looks good. However I think it would be
beneficial for each digitizer to have their own home directory rather than a
shared home. Some of them use the workstation more than dumb terminals and
would like to have a consistant desktop. The user breakdown looks good however
we are hiring Mike as full time staff so he should have the same setup as Ari.
Kristen works near full time and should have access like Ari and Mike. Evan,
Jeff and Stef are using workstations not dumb terminals and would benefit from
seperate home directories. They should not have the same access as Ari, Mike
and Kristen. They will be using Global, Trombetas, and Tapajos most. They
should not have access to Amazon. They should be able to use any of the other
workstations.
A couple of notes, you can remove the chao account, and any file a student
makes should be read/write by anyone. Right now Evan is making files only he
can read and write.

Hi Walter,
Here's the latest update regarding the login accounts for your group.
I removed tha chao account.
I've modified access to your hosts as follows:
Host backup groups/users allowed fiber
---- ------ -------------------- -----
amazon silo ds_users, mike5,kristin5 x
blackbird NA
cici silo ds_users, ds_dig_users x
global silo ds_users, ds_dig_users x
igapo Global ds_users, ds_dig_users x
japura silo ds_users, ds_dig_users x
madeira Global ds_users, ds_dig_users x
pyramid silo ds_users
tapajos Global ds_users, ds_dig_users x
trombetas silo ds_users, ds_dig_users
wintermute ds_users
xingu silo ds_users, ds_dig_users
Basically I removed ds_dig_users access to amazon, and added it to
madeira and tapajos.
I'll add a task to create individual login areas for each of the
digitize students (26 in all). This realistically will probably take
a couple of weeks. One advantage of having them share an area is the
reduced administrative overhead. For example, the fact that evan5 can
create files other users can't read is probably a result of some files
being modified, since by default their accounts are setup so that this
is not a problem. In addition, they may change paths, aliases, environment
variables, etc.. all of which can potentially break things, that will take
time to fix.

I think it would be better if we had three groups of users. The two we have
now plus one more. The people who make browse products need access to Tapajos
and its tape drive but none of the ds_dig_users should have access to it. Here
is who I think should be in each group. I realize we have changed this a lot
recently but this will be the last time. Thanks.
