Greetings all,
Some of you, like myself, might be gearing up for the new school year. 
I'm looking for tips and tricks and scripts that help primarily with 
permissions and user management. I've compiled this list based on what I 
remember ... maybe someone else has their own checklist that they can share?

*mass import of student info from .xls or .csv of user name, password 
(via webmin?)
*limiting space usage by group or user
*limiting application access by group (passing_student, failing_student)
*setting default desktops (ICEWM)
*shared folders but locked from viewing other users files in same folder 
(homework drop box)
*setting specific hotkeys for all users (printscreen particularly)

Again, if you've any pointers or tips I'd be very much obliged for your 
help. I'm a beginning sysadmin and a teacher.

many thanks,
Dennis Daniels
