Some of this is intended to be fixed with the introduction of Cerebrum, doing this automatically based on information provided from some pupils registry. What about using start/end groups instead? graduates-2009 or started-2000. This way, you only need to update the rights given to these groups, and not their members. > 2.

Yes, would be nice. :) NX is claimed to be a nice way to do this. ssh is of course always available. :)
