With the continual decline of understanding of the Unix environment
among the user base of AcIS email, various AcIS groups have expressed
interest in developing a web based environment in which users may
view and as appropriate manipulate facilities currently available
only by logging in to a Cunix host. Such facilities may include
(but are not restricted to)
- Forwarding and vacation messages (WebForward)
- Mail filtering (WebFilter)
- Disk quota (WebQuota)
- Account creation and expiration (WebCreate)
- File Uploads and Permissions (WebFTP)
- Web publishing controls (WebHTAccess)
The WebX naming scheme is extended here (as already used by WebCreate),
but is for demonstration purposes only, to indicate how end users might
view these services as different aspects of the same system. WebAccount
is expected to be only a front end to these services, with actual
functionality implemented by the Online Information Link.
