New page

=Committee Changeovers=

==Introduction==

This is a dummies guide and checklist for the admins outlining what needs to be done during the changeover from one committee to the next.

==The Changeover==

===Committee Group===

All members of the committee should be added to the committee group. This will allow them to read and edit the committee-owned documents.

root@deathray:/local/admin/scripts/rrs# ./useradm convert
RETURN: use [default] given TAB: answer completion EOF: give empty answer

Enter username
[no default] >> $new_committee_member

Conversion usertype must be specified. List of valid usertypes:

member Normal member
associat Graduate/associate member
staff DCU staff member
committe Committee member or a position account
society DCU society
club DCU club
dcu DCU related account
projects RedBrick/DCU/Course project account
redbrick RedBrick related account
intersoc Account for society from another college
guest Guest account

Special committee positions (usertype is 'committe'):

admin Elected admin
helpdesk Elected helpdesk
webmaster Elected webmaster

Enter conversion usertype
(hints) [no default] >> committe

Enter who updated this user (give Unix username)
[root] >> atlas

User converted: $new_committee_member -> committe
Account converted: $new_committee_member -> committe
Subscribed: $new_committee_member@redbrick.dcu.ie

This changes the gidNumber of the user in LDAP to 100 (the committee group). It also subscribes the user to the committee mailing list. Do this for each of the new committee members.

===IRC===

====#rbcommittee====

Add each user to the #rbcommittee access list, with an access level of 40.

/msg chanserv access #rbcommittee add *!$new_committee_member@redbrick.dcu.ie 40

====#lobby====

Add each user to the #lobby access list, with a level of 10 (or 40 for admins).

/msg chanserv access #lobby add *!$new_committee_member@redbrick.dcu.ie 10

===Webmaster===

Add the webmaster to the <code>webgroup</code> group on the webserver (currently deathray.redbrick.dcu.ie). In <code>/etc/groups</code>, add the username to the end of the line beginning:

webgroup:x:1010:

Add the webmaster to the webmaster mailing list (webmaster <at> lists.redbrick.dcu.ie) at http://lists.redbrick.dcu.ie/mailman/admin/webmaster/

===Helpdesk===

Add each member to the helpdesk mailing lists (TODO, list all lists).

Add each member to the LDAP helpdesk group:

root@deathray:~# ldapmodify -D cn=root,ou=ldap,o=redbrick -x -y /etc/ldap.secret
dn: cn=helpdesk,ou=groups,o=redbrick
changetype: modify
add: memberUid
memberUid: $new_helpdesk_member1
memberUid: $new_helpdesk_member2
memberUid: $new_helpdesk_member3
modifying entry "cn=helpdesk,ou=groups,o=redbrick"

===Admins===

The tricky ones...

Add each member to the admin mailing lists (rb-admins and elected-admins).

Add each member to the LDAP root group:

root@deathray:~# ldapmodify -D cn=root,ou=ldap,o=redbrick -x -y /etc/ldap.secret
dn: cn=root,ou=groups,o=redbrick
changetype: modify
add: memberUid
memberUid: $new_admin_member1
memberUid: $new_admin_member2
memberUid: $new_admin_member3
modifying entry "cn=root,ou=groups,o=redbrick"

Give each member a local account (in /etc/passwd) on each machine (TODO, document this, if necessary).
