I must confess to being curious why Mandrake was chosen as the backend, and not Red Hat, given that Mandrake is basically a series of enhancements and changes to the Red Hat distro. Logic would suggest some of those are critical changes that are needed for Karoshi?
s/Red Hat/Fedora/g; I wouldn't have said it mattered one iota. I would imagine the reason it were chosen was because it is what is familiar to the developer(s) of Karoshi. Portability should be such that I should be able to take the project and run it on any Linux distribution I see fit... heh, now *there's* a test for the developers... While it is true that Mandrake is based on Redhat (initially) they work sufficiently different such that the two are separate in their own right, which each distro doing slightly Different Things (tm) from one another.
Bulk user creation is a fairly safe practice in Novell from CSV, though we have experienced peculiarities in the past.
I'm not surprised.
As to rights, ours are very strict. I'm not sure how strict yours are, but we pretty much run on a basis of deny, and only permit grudgingly, thus we're granting rights down to sub-sub-sub (etc) folder level.
Depends what your $PARANOIA is like, but I would probably be just as cautious, giving staff slightly more access where applicable, etc. [..snip..] -- Thomas Adam.
