Hmm, that's right, one benefit of the 2-account system (which I'd not spotted) is that it automatically ensures the logs go in the right directory. How's about this: when someone has a user account like "jmason", we also add a duplicate account, e.g. "rescore-jmason", at the same time, with the same password, which stores the logs in the submit area instead of nightly? > So a couple of things: > > 1) Sure, after this run we'll switch to using a single accounts file. > 2) I'd actually like to clean out the accounts file.
