From: uudot@earth.lerc.nasa.gov (Dorothy Carney) Our working group is getting started in the use and administration of UNIX workstations. Our equipment includes a DECstation, a Sun Sparcstation, a Data General AViion, and even a Masscomp supermini. There are many other computers at our site, including some with flavors of UNIX, for example, a Cray with Unicos and Amdahl with UTS. To simplify the administration of our workstations and to facilitate networking, we are trying to standardize the directory trees on our workstations. What conventions have you applied in your UNIX environment? In particular: (1) Where do you put user accounts (userids). (2) Where do you install third-party software. (3) Where do you put local utilities. (4) Do you create userids for software packages. Comments & suggestions please!! Volume-Number: Volume 20, Number 80
