I don't know yet - I'm not advanced enough yet to have thought of the question - thanks for posing it. I want to play with Sage to understand what questions arise and I know I can do this on the Sagenb site or on a standalone, single user copy. But I'd ideally like to install it as a multi-user facility so that I'm trying out my options (and any limitations) in that environment. >How much > do you trust your users? (e.g., do you expect some to try to break into > things and use the server to email spam or whatever?) I don't expect this much because I'd expect to make access available only to registered users. However, access would be over the Internet rather than a private network. One target audience is school (rather than college/university) pupils. I'd expect them to get lots of things wrong but I think the likelihood of deliberate damage is low (though not zero). > > The easiest way to set up a multi-user server is to just get the vmware > version of Sage running, start sage, and then use the notebook() > command. At the sage prompt, type notebook? to read the help. This sounda a bit like something I'd do when sitting at the server rather than when sitting at a remote web browser. Or am I wrong? For example, I access Sagenb via a browser and hence a URL, rather than via VMWare (even though I get the impression that Sagenb is underpinned by VMWare - can't recall where I read that).. >In particular, you'll probably want to read about the "accounts", > "address", and "secure" options.
