Message-ID: <8812202021.AA27835@rice.edu> Date: 30 Dec 88 14:40:37 GMT Sender: usenet@rice.edu Organization: Sun-Spots Lines: 24 Approved: Sun-Spots@rice.edu Original-Date: Tue, 20 Dec 88 14:13:15 CDT X-Sun-Spots-Digest: Volume 7, Issue 81, message 10 of 17 We recently bought a gaterbox and suddenly some 30 macintoshes can be terminals on our sun's. This in turn caused faculty to become interested in assigning students accounts on the sun for a semester or part of a semester. So that I don't go back and invent the wheel I would like to ask the following questions: 1. Is their software out there that I can get a hold of that will handle the assigning and unassigning of groups of accounts (possibly file driven). 2. How is the assigning of passwords handled for the students? 3. What is a reasonable file quota for a student ina beginning computer science course? 4. Any other relevant advice. Please reply directly to me. aaron konstam trinity university 715 stadium dr. san antonio, tx 78218 email: akonstam@trinity.bitnet
