Tips for Pool Observers

• Source name:

Be cautious with the source name: don' t put short name (3 letters or less), they could be confused with the local catalogue if the catalogue is not specified. Don't put large name with special characters (*,',etc), it may have confusion during the observations.

Currently the observers should not use the flexible account, reserved for the database. Ask for the hello passwd to work in that account.
