Our working group is getting started in the use and administration of UNIX 
workstations.  Our equipment includes a DECstation, a Sun Sparcstation, a
Data General AViion, and even a Masscomp supermini.  There are many other
computers at our site, including some with flavors of UNIX, for example,
a Cray with Unicos and Amdahl with UTS.  To simplify the administration of
our workstations and to facilitate networking, we are trying to standardize
the directory trees on our workstations.

What conventions have you applied in your UNIX environment?  In particular:
(1) Where do you put user accounts (userids).  (2) Where do you install
third-party software.  (3) Where do you put local utilities.  (4) Do you
create userids for software packages.     Comments & suggestions please!!
