I downloaded sage 2.8.2 and installed it on a ubuntu server (everything went amazingly smoothly, except that the notebook() command got stuck since I didn't realize that obviously apache-ssl needs to be installed; perhaps a message in the output of notebook.setup() would be useful, and it would also help to mention that notebook? will produce additional useful info).
This particular ubuntu server is currently not used for anything else, and I am hoping to use the sage notebook for a discrete math class and an introduction to abstract algebra class. I looked at the instructions for running the notebook in a chroot jail, but I'm afraid this is beyond my current unix skills. If I create accounts for the students (but disable account creation) and tell them not to vandalize the server, what other security or performance implications are there if the notebook is run from a single user account on the ubuntu server and is accessible to the students over the web? Also, as far as logging notebook activity, is it possible to keep rotating logs of all commands typed in the various notebooks, together with a username and timestamp? Thanks for all the hard work on sage and for making the installation so easy. --Peter --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://sage.math.washington.edu/sage/ and http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
