I coordinate Zephyr for the College of Engineering, as have been a principal
proponent for campus-wide Zephyr.  The Math and Computer Science departments
have their seperate realms.  I am a CS graduate student.

Here's a copy of my .zephyr.subs:

	message,food,*
	message,food,bcs@eng.ufl.edu
	message,frisbee,*
	message,frisbee,bcs@eng.ufl.edu

We use these subscriptions for campus-wide "rendevous" for food, frisbee,
online games (dtrek), etc.

And our default.subscriptions file:

	operations,ufl.edu,*
	operations,ufl.edu,%me%
	operations,eng.ufl.edu,*
	operations,eng.ufl.edu,%me%
	message,personal,%me%

Notice we have operations instances for the entire UF campus (ufl.edu) as
well as for our local realm (eng.ufl.edu).

I have written a shutdown that uses Zephyr instead of wall for remote file
system clients, and re-wrote the zinit program for NFS environments.  Two
two programs sort of go hand-in-hand.  Let me know if you are interested;
I can send the source as long as you retain the original authorship.

We are currently evaluating the integration of Hesiod and Kerberos.

Cheers.
