Greetings -- some of you might be familiar with the sun-managers mailing
list; it has been very useful in tracking down quick answers to tough
questions regarding management of Sun workstations. This is an announcement
for a new list along the same lines for "next-managers"...
If you are interested in subscribing to this new list, please read the
following policy statement carefully. It is very similiar to the
Sun-Managers policy.
Craig

This message is a summary of the next-managers charter and rules.
Failure to adhere to these guidelines may result in severe
chastisement by the list maintainer and other list participants
or your being removed from the next-managers mailing list.
1: This list is NOT moderated! Every message that is sent to the list
"next-managers@stolaf.edu" will be passed on to every member of the list.
2: Requests to have addresses added or removed from the list should NOT
be sent to the entire list. Instead, they should be mailed to:
next-managers-request@stolaf.edu
3: This list is intended to be a quick-turnaround trouble shooting aid
for those who administer and manage NeXT systems. Its primary purpose
is to provide the NeXT manager with a quick source of information for
system management problems that are of a time-critical nature.
4: Answers to questions are to be mailed back to the questioner and are
NOT to be sent to the entire list. The person who originally asked
the question has the responsibility of summarizing the answers and
sending the entire summary back to the list. If everyone follows
this, one problem will only generate two or possibly three messages
on the list.
5: Corrections to compiled answers should be addressed only to the
person who first asked the question; this person (the writer of
the original question) is then responsible for distributing
the corrected information to the list.
6: Discussions on ANY topic are very strongly discouraged.
7: If it is not specifically related to NeXT system management, then it
does NOT belong on this list.
8: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE...Think before you send a message! Ask yourself
is this really appropriate?
have you looked in the reference manuals?
have you checked NextAnswers?
have you checked the Digital Librarian?
have you looked in the online man pages?
before mailing to the next-managers list. There are enough
other newsgroups, mailing lists and other resources around
to cover the marginal topics.
9: Do NOT send message from "root" or from "me"; send them from
your own personal account.
