Our department has begun to support on-site training for our software products. The trainees are both from Cray and third parties. This has greatly increased our system account turn-over. It also opens our systems to a greater security risk. We run regular security audits. We run a tight ship all the way around. But these training accounts pose a new problem for us. We have set them up on a physically isolated server to allow for round tape and cartridge drive access. This system is not logically isolated however, we're all sitting on basically the same wire. How do you handle training 'drones'? What experiences have you had, good and bad; are there do's and don'ts that we should be aware of? Basically we do training account administration 'by-hand'. I have written a few scripts to reset passwds and clear /home directories, but how do you handle this? I'm just fishing for ideas. Thanks.
