To select a PPPL pshr#### account for a user
First, make sure that the user has a valid PPPL account. On the
PORTALS on or TRANSPGRID.PPPL.GOV, this command can be used.
$ getent passwd | grep <User's name>
Then to determine which pshr#### account to use:
On the PORTALS or on TRANSPGRID.PPPL.GOV, look in ~pshare/PSHR.LIST
for an available number between pshr0003 and, currently, pshr0074.
>>> After selecting a pshr#### account, update ~pshare/PSHR.LIST.
How to create PPPL pshr#### accounts
1) Request more accounts from Lena Scimeca. These accounts
are not passwordable and do not have valid kereberos identities.
Home directories are /u/transp/pshr####. They must be created
in unixsrv1.pppl.gov:/p4/transpdir/p_transpgrid/ftpdirs and
the auto.home map must be updated.
2) Copy files including . files from /u/pshr0002 to the new
account. Log in to each new account to allow the login process
to create the remaining files required.
