Sysadmin:New Sysadmins
There are quite a few areas to update when a new system administrator joins the admin group (and some of these apply to someone leaving the group, actually...).
Keys
The sysadmins get a copy of CA and CMP1. These need to be requested with a form and signed by the new sysadmin and by either Charlie or Kay.
Bookkeeping
Sysadmins need to register for CS281: Applied Groups. They can either take the class for zero or one credit hour (pass/fail). This can't be done online since it requires instructor permission, but have Charlie sign the sheet.
E-mails
- The new admins need to be added to the CS-Admin mailing list.
- Nagios needs to be updated to include the users in e-mails sent out. This doesn't go to the mailing list in case the CS department's e-mail stack is part of the problem. Also there are sys admin alumns on the mailing list who don't need to know about servers going down on a daily basis.
- The usernames need to be added to the root alias on Quark in
/etc/aliasesUpdate: 6/19/09: Root now goes to the admin mailing list, so this is no longer true.
Accounts/Permissions
There are a few (physical) machines that don't use NIS and need to have users added by hand:
Users need to have a wiki account created for them on this wiki, and in NIS, users need to be added to the wheel group.
Passwords
There are lots of them.
