[comp.unix.aix] New sysadmin

cambler@polyslo.CalPoly.EDU (The Squire, Phish) (03/08/91)

Here at Cal Poly, we are running a 3090/400, with a cluster of PS/2s. The
department just hired 2 new student sysadmins, and guess who's one of them...

Most of my experience is with a vax 11/785 running 4.2 and 4.3 BSD, and
a pyramid 98x (dualport) running their flavour of BSD 4.3.

Does anyone have any sage words of advice for this system we have inherited?
Our first tasks are getting NNTP/rn working, and cleaning up security
holes (obvious ones, like permissions being set globally on, and the like),
but very shortly we'll be expected to make serious system improvements and
be the brilliant students they think they hired :-)

(and in case one of the supervisors is reading, we really are the brilliant
students you hired.) :-)
