1. CAMP: Cluster Account Management Program
Primarily an accounting system for user information.
Information repository (postGresQL).
Uses Network Information System (NIS) to implement/enforce the information in the database.
Its a command line utility.

2. Camp and NIS/netgroups
Python was used as a glue language to connect the database and NIS.
Camp uses netgroups to manage users across hosts. (normally cluster headnodes)
Netgroups allows a logical grouping of users into projects.
Netgroups also allow CAMP to modify user permissions on the central NIS server, ypbind.

3. C2G: What is it? A glue for connecting commandline programs.
A fairly simple display system, with an API that allows for other programs to use it.
An API for other programs to communicate with cluster systems in a secure fashion.

4. C2G Goals:
Make it a modular system, so that many different programs can use it for a display system.
Make it run remotely, so that users do not have to be on the actual cluster.
Provide a mechanism so that utility writers that use C2G can independently display their results.
