For me none of the HPC systems I've been involved with here in Australia would <br>
have had that option.  Virtually all have external users and/or reliance on <br>
external data for some of the work they are used for (and the sysadmins don't <br>
usually have control over the projects & people who get to use them).<br>
<br>
All the best,<br>
