How do I change a filesystem authenticated author to Kerberos/Internally authenticated author?
Using CUSR, just change the users authentication. If you desire, you can remove
the user from you machine using vipw or userdel. If you remove the user from the
filesystem, go the user's home directory and chown -R www:www the user's directory.

Can I delete resources from the private/resource space?
When materials are published and copied from private space to public
space (/home/AUTHOR/public_html to
/home/httpd/html/res/DOMAIN/AUTHOR), they are also listed in a
database. Removing materials from /home/httpd/html/res/DOMAIN/AUTHOR
will not unpublish. You will be able to find the deleted material
still. The /home/httpd/html/res/DOMAIN/AUTHOR directories are not
meant to be touched.
If an author wants to "unpublish" something for a good reason (e.g.
wrote some textbook problems by without getting copyright
permission), I recommend that they copy over the resource with
something like a blank problem template or blank html page and remove
clear all the data from the meta file when the publish this new blank
problem. This way, the problem/resource is not searchable and if
someone does come across it, the material is useless.

How do I make a domain coordinator on a new LON-CAPA machine?
You need to determine the values of two variables,
DOMAINNAME and DOMAINCOORDINATORNAME.
DOMAINNAME should equal lonDefDomain in access.conf.
DOMAINCOORDINATORNAME can be whatever you want
(alphanumeric characters).
As root:
bash$ cd loncom/build
bash$ perl make_domain_coordinator.pl DOMAINCOORDINATORNAME DOMAINNAME
THEN enter password in standard input
bash$ /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart
(Note: the web server must be restarted with
the above "httpd restart" command because
make_domain_coordinator.pl alters /etc/group).
