While investigating Csuite 1.1 features on two Linux test beds [standalone home machine, networked Seattle Community Network machine], I have come across a few things that don't seem to work as expected. 1) How long does it take for a user account REALLY to be deleted. After the administrator deletes an account, it is made inaccessible to the user within an hour. The account name then appears in a "pending" list which I would expect csuite cron jobs to act upon within a reasonable amount of time [a day? a week?]. However, test accounts that I deleted several weeks ago are still in the pending list, and the user home directories are still intact. 2) I have created IPs, and the web directories appear within an hour, and the IP editor account can install files to those directories. However, I am not sure how long it takes for links to web pages of new IPs to appear under the "Information Providers" link from the main Csuite web page. I left my home installation running overnight after creating an IP, but the IP still hadn't appeared on the list of local IPs this morning. 3) IP web directories have files that seem to be owned by the principle IP editor and belong to a group with the IP number - 1001 for ip-1001, etc, if I do a ls -l command from root. However, grepping /etc/group for 1001 doesn't turn up any real group with 1001 for a name or a gid. What is going on here? On our old Freeport system, IPs have real user accounts (generic xx001, etc). In Csuite, there are apparently no actual IP accounts, just regular user accounts promoted to IP Editor status for the IP web area. Is that a correct interpretation? 4) From the Csuite documentation, I thought that IPs should be able to install a set of "tagged" files all in one batch to their web area. However, when I tag files, then bring up full menus, I get a different, abbreviated menu that gives me options to move, delete, or download the tagged files, but not to install them. [On the other hand, installing a whole selected directory of files works beautifully]. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who can provide answers to any of the questions above. Thank you Ken Applegate, Seattle Community Network Ken Applegate How do you identify astronomers from Seattle? <starsrus@scn.org> By the windshield wipers on their telescopes!
