Quarter Codes
First Digit:
- "A" This is bascially the 10's place in the current year, since the year is 2001 they are using an A instead of a 0 so that sorting still works
Second Digit:
- The one's place in the first year the school year bridges
Third Digit:
- The one's place in the second year the school year bridges
Fourth Digit:
- The Quarter # (1=summer, 2=fall, 3=winter, 4=spring)
SO
- A121 = Summer of 2001-2002 school year
Renames and SID Changes
- never perform a username or SID change automatically
- All rename/SID change requests must come from Larry
- Larry should tell me and Jason
- Changes in full name no longer trigger a change in user name
- Humans must request a change to their username or SID
- All these things must be updated BY HAND
- If a person changes name in biglist, it should appear as a new account coming into being and an old account going inactive. That is how it should be.
Admin
Multi-User Admin Accounts
There are two functional ways to do this: 1) give password to multiple people and 2) make three accounts, two for humans and 3rd that holds shared data. The first is easier the 2nd more secure. The 2nd may be unstable as well because users may change permissions making sharing not work.
Sharing a single password is straightforward.
The three accnt system is a little more complex.
- give two humans accounts
- make 3rd account - make sure it can't log in etc..
- set setgid bit on 3rd accnt's files
- make sure all files are group writable on 3rd accnt
- set umask in two human account's .bashrc/.profile to allow group writable files (0002 = rw-rw-r--)
Directory Indexing on Arthur
- make sure they're not being redirected to tintin
- look for all the indexing entries in for_all_virt_hosts.conf and add another
- restart httpd
