How To Create a SIPB Homedir
============================

o Add the new user to the SIPB AFS database if it is not there
already.  Assign the Athena uid.
	o 'pts examine USERNAME -c sipb' to determine if it already exists
	o 'pts createuser USERNAME UID -c sipb' to add the user if not

o Determine a partition on which to create the volume.
	o 'fs df /afs/sipb/service/partitions/*' for a list of free
	space by volume
	o partitions d and e are on an Athens drive, try to avoid them
	if possible

o Create the volume.
	o 'vos create ronald-ann PARITION user.USERNAME -c sipb'
	o PARTITION is the single letter for the partition you just
	chose

o Create a mountpoint for the new volume in the r/w directory.
	o 'fs mkmount /afs/.sipb/user/USERNAME user.USERNAME -rw -c sipb'

o Give the user and system:administrators full privs on the volume.
	o 'fs sa /afs/.sipb/user/USERNAME USERNAME all'
	o 'fs sa /afs/.sipb/user/USERNAME system:administrators all'

o Copy whatever configuration files you want into the directory.
	o /afs/sipb/project/guests/prototype contains the config files
	for the sipb guest accounts, you might like them better than
	the Athena defaults
	o don't forget the dotfiles

o Change the ownership of the directory and its contents to the user.
	o 'chown -R UID /afs/.sipb/user/USERNAME'

o Take system:administrators off the volume acl.
	o 'fs sa /afs/.sipb/user/USERNAME system:administrators none'

o Release the SIPB user volume.
	o 'vos release user -c sipb'

o Pray.
