Expanded operator interface

Previous releases of SAM-FS had two levels of privilege; an administrator with super-user privilege, and users with customary user only privilege. With the 3.1 release, a new level designated as Operator has been introduced. This allows a site administrator to define an Operator group that is not super-user privileged, but has the ability to perform Operator type functions to the system. The robottool, devicetool, and previewtool are affected by this change. There are additional improvements to the GUI tools: The non-GUI administrator interface called samu has been revised to include additional real-time status information about the media equipment and general state of the archiving and staging. See the samu(1M) man page for additional details.
