It is beyond my level of expertise, I'm afraid. I suggest that you start a
new thread with a suitable subject line. It sounds like a FAQ-like item.
Maybe there will even be an answer on the Web.

Be sure to avoid machine names that reflect on yourself as an individual or
else people will spy on your activity at greater ease, e.g.

carole.smb.man.ac.uk

versus:

vulture.cs.man.ac.uk

  (note: based on real examples)

Cheers,

Roy
