The Columbia Computing Systems Unix Development Group has undertaken
the task of developing a next generation system for managing person
information and account information. Cubic is the working
brand name, how the system will be advertised to end users. It is
actually comprised of two components.
Nuts is the working name for the Person System. Nuts is responsible for coalescing various feeds of person information into a common directory, providing a single electronic representation of a person's affiliation with the University and mechanism for proving their identity. Bolts is the working name for the Account System. Bolts is responsible for managing Unix contexts for eligible persons.
