Managing AOK Library guest accounts

From Syscore

The Library has a set of "guest" accounts that they give out to non-UMBC-account-holding patrons so that they can have computer and network access while visiting. They do so via the AOK Guest Account interface, where they enter in the name of the individual getting the account, and it gives them the account name (aokg-something-something) and a password for the account.

The passwords on the accounts are reset nightly by a scheduled job run by cfengine on tps.umbc.edu. The script that is ran (as root) is /afs/umbc.edu/admin/afsadmin/libref/aokg_nightly.pl
