-Group accounts are necessary when a number of users need access to the same set of files, for example, a society webpage. All of the users who wish to edit these files **MUST** be tardis account holders.
-Two things need set up, the group (or role) account, and the the unix group. Both will have the same name.
-====== Creating the group account ======
-====== Creating the group ======
-====== Adding users to the group ======
-Using ldapvi:
-  ldapvi -D 'cn=admin,dc=tardis,dc=ed,dc=ac,dc=uk' '(cn=GROUPNAME)'
-//(substituting the relevant group name for GROUPNAME//)
-Add memberUid entries for each user, see existing groups for example.
-====== Allowing sudo access ======
-//Allows all users in the given group the ability to sudo a login for the role account//
-====== Creating group webspace ======
-//same as user webspace, with obvious changes//
-====== Adding a vhost ======
-There are two ways to add vhosts. One for fussy people and one for lazy people.
-The lazy option is to simply add the appropriate CNAME for www in DNS. Then requests aimed at http://www.foo.tardis.ed.ac.uk/ are proxied to http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~foo/
-Fussy people (with scripts that care that the user's seeing the same url the script thinks they're seeing) need the above done, as well as:
-  * An entry in davros:/etc/apache/vhosts/foo . Have a poke around at others in there to look for one that's close to what you want, the etv one looks fairly minimal. Oh, and remember to use [[rcs]]!
-  * Directories and things in /tardis/www/vhosts/foo/ . Use the same structure here as for single users.
