[comp.unix.questions] System Administration/Policies in a Computer Science Department

lhb@duke.cs.duke.edu (Pete Boyd) (01/18/88)

The Department of Computer Science at Duke University has experienced
tremendous growth over the last 5 years. We are in the process of 
drafting policies for managing our computing environment which consist
of various DEC, Sun, CONVEX, BBN, Symbolics, AT&T and micro computers.
A committee has been formed and charged with drafting these policies.

I, as a member of that committee would like to know how other university
computer science departments administer their computing resources. Below
is a partial list of areas which these policies will address:

  - disk allocation(quotas)
  - disk cleanup
  - setting up and deleting accounts
  - root permissions
  - problem reporting
  - interfacing with the user group

Persons who are willing to share information in this area are encouraged
to contact me at my electronic mail address or correspondence should be
mailed to: Leslie H. Boyd
           Duke University
           Computer Science Department
           Durham, NC  27706

I also have interest in any User Manuals and User Survey forms developed
in Computer Science Departments.
