Hi,
Well we don't have a policy that says cron jobs aren't allowed. Obviously
now something needs to change but Barry will have to solve the problem for
the current farm.
In the future (we are combining all our farms together at the moment) i'll
probably generate the cron|at.allow in the fly from ldap or hack cron|at to
regognise netgroups if it's possible. If i can i'll probably kill pool accounts
as well and generate proper user accounts at the fly (like winbind) which
will solve most of the problems. From what i've seen there aren't more than
a few dozen people that sumbit jobs in lcg but even if there are more uids
are relatively free :)
Cheers,
Kostas
