RAL Tier1 Pool Accounts

Introduction

With a much greater number of VO roles now coming online with VOMS such as software manager, production manager and such like it has become necessary to create numerous groups per virtual organisation each with numerous pool accounts. All pool accounts within a VO will belong to a common secondary group representing the VO.

The home directory for each account will be /pool/home/cmsaXXX and this directory will not exist across the farm. It will be created and destroyed dynamically by the pbs epilogue and prologue scripts.

These unix accounts will now be deployed across the tier1 and new gLite 3.0 CE deployed so as to utilise them.
