I agree.

I think it is a good point that we need to asses what the HW is at
SwRI and if it is on-par with what is at BU, or at least what is
required to do the job.  Also, the state of the disks needs to be
determined to make sure there are no unreliabilities.

Absolutely.  For the New Horizons SOC, I have an account called "soc"
that is used for all official pipeline processing.  My "joe" account
is used for my testing offline (any user on the machine can have there
"own pipeline" for testing purposes).

The SwRI machines will need to be accessible in general, while
retaining security.  In the Boulder SOC, we keep a "public" machine
(which is also the data/wiki webserver) on the outside of the
firewall, whereas the processing machine is inside, but can be ssh'd
to from the public server.

Yes.  Setting up mail accounts that are not connected to a person are
a good idea, and those aliases can point to whomever should get those
emails.
