More importantly, it is the file system used to store most files on Athena today. This includes your personal home directory, your dorm site, and probably some of the software you run, if you ever use clusters. (Though all user directories were migrated from NFS in the summer of 1992, some files probably still remain on NFS and, of course, various file systems are used on personal computers and servers). @@ -183,10 +187,10 @@ What you '''don't''' want to do is take away the l permission from {{{system:any and then doing a {{{ln -s www/redirect.html index.html}}} in the top level of the locker.

If you want a locker for something official like a student group or a piece of software, send an email to [mailto:accounts@mit.edu] explaining what you need it for and someone at IS&T will let you know. If you feel it is something less official or you would just rather consider it a SIPB project (perhaps get other SIPB people involved) send an email to [mailto:sipb-afsreq@mit.edu] instead.
