[auton-users] LDAP update

[predragp at andrew.cmu.edu]

Dear Autonians,

LDAP server is ready. I have already created core users groups and user
records for faculty. I have done everything from scratch since trying to
extract info from NIS which has never been seriously cleaned would create
garbage IMHO. The plan is to create record for remaining 50 users tomorrow
and populate neill group first so that I could release their file server
and rebuild their computing nodes over the weekend or possibly early next
week.

Releasing new file server and the rest of Auton Lab computing nodes will
be slightly more chelenging due to existance of numerous project groups
which have to be cleared by the Lab direstors before entered into LDAP.


I apologize if this process looks  painfully slow but I prefer to do
things right instead of doing them fast. My surgery also have not help
with the speed of the process.


Most Kind Regards,
Predrag Punosevac
