The issue we're chewing on is one of allowing the individual to set his/her own personal alias(es) vs assigning an alias. And by alias, I mean using a person handle or a more complete name (e.g., rob_tanner as oppossed to simply rtanner), or both. If any of you are currently doing it, are you allowing folks to set their own aliases, or are you assigning them. If you're assigning the aliases, is the process automated or manual. And if automated, what kind of an algorythm are you using to insure uniqueness. In other words, how do you handle creating unique aliases for the 3rd and the 4th Jennifer Anne Jones? Personally, I lean towards letting folks assign themselves their own aliases since, in the first place it's empowering, and I also think the downsides (mainly abuse) are relatively easy to manage. What kinds of insights can you offer?

While it would empower the students to allow this ability, we have made a conscious decision to not pursue this option. However, if we were to pursue it, I would suggest ensuring that each person had only one handle, and that the handle could not easily be changed. Otherwise, if Jennifer_Jones decides to try Jen_Jones for a while, you don't have a problem when she complains that her mail is going to the second Jennifer_Jones who grabbed the alias in the mean time ..... In fact, the more I think about this, the uglier it begins to look. Let me know what you finally decide to pursue. We're looking at potentially automating the aliases in the future, and I would be interested to know what you and other colleges are doing, Tony At 11:35 AM 02/06/2002 -0800, nw-heat@nw-heat.org wrote: >We are looking at implementing personal email aliasing through our LDAP >server (the mechanism is currently in place and functioning, we're just >not populating the attributes at this time).

Personally, I lean towards letting folks assign themselves their own aliases since, in the first place it's empowering, and I also think the downsides (mainly abuse) are relatively easy to manage. What kinds of insights can you offer?

While it would empower the students to allow this ability, we have made a conscious decision to not pursue this option. However, if we were to pursue it, I would suggest ensuring that each person had only one handle, and that the handle could not easily be changed. Otherwise, if Jennifer_Jones decides to try Jen_Jones for a while, you don't have a problem when she complains that her mail is going to the second Jennifer_Jones who grabbed the alias in the mean time ..... In fact, the more I think about this, the uglier it begins to look. Let me know what you finally decide to pursue. We're looking at potentially automating the aliases in the future, and I would be interested to know what you and other colleges are doing, Tony At 11:35 AM 02/06/2002 -0800, nw-heat@nw-heat.org wrote: >We are looking at implementing personal email aliasing through our LDAP >server (the mechanism is currently in place and functioning, we're just >not populating the attributes at this time).

I thought that if there were some interest, this might be something for some of the NW-HEAT Technical folks. I've already been assured that sales pitches would be avoided and that the workshop would be vendor neutral. So I have a few questions to put to you folks: 1) Would anyone be interested in a full-day, half-day or evening workshop/seminar on storage issues? 2) If so, which issues would you like to see discussed? 3) How many people would attend from your institution? If there seems to be enough interest, I'll work toward setting something up! Take care, --------------------------------------------- Casey Feskens System Administrator/Network Svcs.
