چکیده
While some work has discussed hiring system administrators, and other work has focused on the technical and mechanical requirements for terminating a system administrator, there has been very little published regarding how to review or evaluate a system administrator. This paper presents one approach to doing such a review, followed by scenarios that explore the approach. The system developed in this paper has the aim of creating measurable goals that a competent system administrator should be able to achieve. We also discuss when the use of this model is appropriate, its strengths and weaknesses, and the responsibilities placed on management if this model is used.

User creation, group management, and mail alias maintenance are just three examples of the many repetitive tasks that can crowd the sysadmin's day. Matters worsen when users neglect to provide necessary information for the job. They can grow bleak...

A common way for virtual machine cluster (VMC) to tolerate failures is to create distributed snapshot and then restore from the snapshot upon failure. However, restoring the whole VMC suffers from long restore latency due to large snapshot files. Besides, different latencies would lead to discrepancies in start time among the virtual machines. The prior started virtual machine (VM) thus cannot ...

The User Account Management System (UAMS) is an extension of the original User DataBase (UDB) system presented at the USENIX Large Installation System Administration Conference in 1990. This paper describes the extensions of the UDB system from a single administrative entity tool for a distributed set of computers to a multidepartmental system over the period of three years since the first pape...

Generic programming is a paradigm whose wide adoption by the C++ community is quite recent. In this scheme most classes and procedures are parameterized, leading to the construction of general and efficient software components. In this paper, we show how some design patterns from Gamma et al. can be adapted to this paradigm. Although these patterns rely highly on dynamic binding, we show that, ...
