1.) Any recommended Network Manager that works well with Digital UNIX?
2.) What 3rd party DAT drives are supported and compatible with Digital
UNIX?
3.) Am trying to configure an Alpha System designed to accommodate around
2000 user accounts. It seems that my /etc/group entries breaks when there
are just too many users (100 or more users under a group). Am still under
OSF/1 v2.0. As a temporary solution, is this idea (creating a group entry
within a group setup) below possible?
(under the /etc/group)
ppp:*:GID:ppp1,ppp2,ppp3,ppp4,students,staff
ppp1:*:GID:user_name_1,user_name_2,...etc..
ppp2:*:GID:user_name_1,user_name_2,...etc..
ppp3:*:GID:user_name_1,user_name_2,...etc..
ppp4:*:GID:user_name_1,user_name_2,...etc..
students:*:GID:user_name_1,user_name_2,...etc..
staff:*:GID:user_name_1,user_name_2,...etc..
where: user_name is LESS THAN OR EQUAL to 8 characters
Usernames under a group is somewhat limited to a specified number
of users. (say, 50 - 100 users per "subgroup")
Is this problem still evident on later versions of Digital UNIX?
Are there ways to go around such (like patches, etc).
Ideas and suggestions or alternative ways in dealing with this one are
definitely welcome!
