LISA 2000 Abstract
Pelendur: Steward of the Sysadmin
Matt Curtin, Interhack Corp., and Sandy Farrar and Tami King, The Ohio State University
Abstract
Here we describe Pelendur, a system for the management of
common system operation tasks. Specifically, Pelendur focuses
on the management of user accounts and related information (such as
groups) across platforms and even for particular software packages
(like databases) that require user authentication. Pelendur
has reduced the massive process of deleting expired accounts and
creating new accounts between terms from a week-long operation by
several part-time operators (with subsequent cleanup by a
collaboration of instructors and staff) into a completely automated
process that requires less than 15 minutes of staff work and
completely eliminates the need for instructor intervention.
