So, Eric (nocturne) asked how to give out SIPB accounts. I went and
looked at the old ones and they were full of cruft, so I decided to
trash them all. (By the way: Matthew and Chad, you're the sponsors of
sipb5 and sipb6, both of which are very old. Are they (a) still in use
and (b) still justified?)
Some fun messages I encountered:
setting acls:
find /afs/sipb.mit.edu/user/sipb4 -type d -exec /bin/athena/fs setacl {} system:administrators all ;
This doesn't actually make it possible to delete the stuff in the Mail
directory, so I got lots of "permission denied" errors and had to
manually change the acls, which was lame.
What I eventually came up with was a reduced set of errors:
/etc/chown -R 12161 /afs/sipb.mit.edu/user/sipb4
/etc/chown: Command not found.
hmmm.
> where chown
/usr/bin/chown
/usr/ucb/chown
right. so I ran /usr/ucb/chown -R 12161 /afs/sipb/user/sipb4 and then
decided I'd let someone else play with it, because at this point I don't
know what I'm doing.
Then I nuked sipb1, sipb2, and sipb7, with similar results. Didn't chown
them.
Someone should deal, and everyone should clean up the accounts they're
handing out, this is silly.
love,
Jessie
