>What were you trying to do?
>
>Register a user in moira that is status 5, for an athena account. I
>often need to register a status 6 user who then finds that they need
>access to athena. The steps I take are first modifiying the user from
>status 6 to 5, so they're "registerable" and then choosing 7.
>
>What's wrong:
>
>When you choose the "7. (register) Register a user." in moira, their
>pobox is automatically reset to a different pobox.
>
>What should have happened:
>
>If they're already on one of the standard pobox machines (po5, po6,
>po7) it should keep them on the same pobox. In addition, moving the
>pobox might cause the user to lose mail (or simply not incorporate it
>cause hesiod now sees them on a different pobox). I'm not sure how
>Ron might want to have moira deal with people on eagle. I do know
>that he's trying to move as many people off as possible.
>
>Currently, what I do now when I register someone for an account in
>moira is first check what pobox they're on, and then after I run the
>registration program, I move them back to their original one.

>If you ahve any questions please let me know. Thanks a lot!
