We have recently installed Ingres 5.0 on an Elxsi computer running AT&T
system 5 unix. We plan to use it in a student environment for teaching
students about database concepts. We will not have a 'real' data base
administrator nor any production databases on this system. We will
have lots of possibly hostle users interested in sabotaging others'
files.
When we installed Ingres, all the datbase files were in directories that
were public write. I played around with using the set groupid bit in
createdb, but it couldn't create a directory and createdb didn't work.
We also will have to add and delete hoards of users every
semester.
I would like to know if there anyone out there with experience using
Igres in a student environment.
Thanks in advance,
