4. On the last server I did I setup scripts to setup new teacher and
sudent accounts - creating the required directories etc to implement a
heirachy of access:

teacher has access to their own private space
                       plus student home directories
                       plus teacher share
                       plus student share

students have access to private file space plus student share

admin (office staff account) has access to private space plus admin share

teachers can be added to an admin group which gives them access to the
admin share

There was quite a bit of work involved in setting this up (and working
it out!) and I would like to find a way to share the results - perhaps
they can be developed further?  One of the problems however is that I
only get access to the installed system on occation as it is firewalled
(of course) by DET... so a wiki might be a great help here.

You beauty! There's a surprising amount of work here - it's quite literally
been an item in my to do list for the last few weeks, but I haven't had a
chance to work it out. So, yes, *please* write it up whenever you get time.
If we haven't got a wiki or something like it up and running by then, just
post it to the list as an interim measure, but keep a copy for later.

Best,
