(part 3 of 5 parts) Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada Faculty and staff: firstname.initial.lastname@queensu.ca. Unfortunately you have to spell the name exactly as in the Personnel records. This is an IBM mainframe machine with no Finger server. Computing and Information Science: finger x@qucis.queensu.ca, where x is lastname or firstname. Reed College: username@reed.edu, where username is of the form flllllll Rice University (Houston, TX) Changed: Sat Jul 3 1993 Finger username@rice.edu, where name is firstname or lastname. This is an online copy of the campus directory, giving surface address and phone number (not e-mail address). Telephoning people is an excellent and efficient way to find their e-mail addresses. Owlnet accounts are provided for undergraduate and graduate engineers and natural science students. Others are given accounts when needed for a class, and then the accounts are deleted after the class is over. Try finger name@owlnet.rice.edu (GNU finger daemon). All students are given accounts on the rice mainframe computer, though off-campus access is still restricted for these accounts unless given permission. The address is @ricevm1.rice.edu and userid's are of the form fllllnn, so John Smith is JSMIT00@ricevm1.rice.edu. Finger name@ricevm1 works for some accounts but a negative response from it is not definitive Here's a small list of machines to try when searching for a user. Try department machines frst for faculty, staff, and grad students, and Owlnet first for undergrads. Append ".rice.edu" to these names. Department Machine Names ========================================== ========================== Computer Science: cs Electrical and Computer Engineering: mu, zeta, eta, kappa, tavi Geophysics: geophysics, hercule, typhoon Math: math1, math22 Mathematical Sciences: masc1, masc6, masc22 Mechanical Engineering: caesar Information Systems: is RAVL (Rice Advanced Visualization Lab): ravl RUF (Rice Unix Facility): ruf Space Physics and Astronomy spacsun (ID usually initials) spacvax (ID usually lastname) Statistics: stat1, stat5 Rensselaer Polytechnic Inst.

Userids are lllllf@rpi.edu with digits added to break ties. finger lastname@rpi.edu to verify userid only. but finger @rpi.edu doesn't yield any login information. Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT): ritvax.bitnet aaaXXXX@ritvax.isc.rit.edu, where aaa is users initials, XXXX is last 4 digits of Social Security Number (SSN) Computer Science: aaaXXXX@cs.rit.edu. Sometimes anaXXXX where n appears literally and means "no middle initial". Profs' accounts omit the XXXX. Rumour has it that some UNIX accounts on other machines within the rit.edu domain use just last 4 digits of SSN, but recent correspondents from RIT don't know of any such machines. Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology: Terre Haute, IN There are three major systems on which students are given accounts: - Academic VAXcluster: rosevc.rose-hulman.edu All students have accounts. - NeXT workstation network: nextwork.rose-hulman.edu All students have accounts. - CS department network: cs.rose-hulman.edu Any student can get an account upon request. Student usernames are consistent across the systems, in the form llllllfm. Mail addresses of the form: first.m.last@rose-hulman.edu are also accepted; mail is directed to a preferred address. Rowan College of New Jersey: Changed: Mon Sep 6 1993 (formerly Glassboro State College, renamed in 1993) Below is a list of computers and who uses them. For help, send mail to postmaster on whichever one seems the most appropriate. If you're not sure, send it to postmaster@rowan.edu. For those with access to gopher you can find current email info on our server. It includes most of the electronic mail addresses on campus. heroes.rowan.edu administrative departments, secretaries, some faculty saturn.rowan.edu Academic Computing, students, some faculty elan.rowan.edu all School of Business faculty, students irp.rowan.edu Institutional Research and Planning gboro.rowan.edu Computer Science faculty, students There is no on-line catalog of student e-mail addresses. If you send a message to postmaster@rowan.edu you should get back the address (if there is one) by the next business day. Rutgers: Changed: Mon Jul 5 1993 Rutgers has a whitepages server, so you can do: whois -h whitepages.rutgers.edu "fname lname" to find email addresses. If the user has an email address it will explicitly indicate "Email:". The "Userid" field is *NOT* an email address. Not everyone with an email address has put it in the directory. Other ways to find email addresses at Rutgers: There are many departmental machines, but these are a few common ones. Usernames are usually "llllllll" but some are "fllllll" etc. General Student: trident.usacs.rutgers.edu (New Bruns. undergrad (*)), andromeda.rutgers.edu (Newark undergrad--all students), draco.rutgers.edu (Newark grad--all students), clam.rutgers.edu (Camden undergrad) (*) not all New Bruns undergrads have accounts CS: remus.rutgers.edu (undergrad), paul.rutgers.edu (grad), cs.rutgers.edu (faculty), pyrite.rutgers.edu (grad/fac) Engineering: pisces.rutgers.edu (ug), jove.rutgers.edu (g/fac), caip.rutgers.edu (grad/fac) Math: gauss.rutgers.edu (undergrad), math.rutgers.edu (grad/fac), hilbert.rutgers.edu (fac), dimacs.rutgers.edu (fac) Molecular Biology/Biochemistry: ocelot.rutgers.edu Physics: physics.rutgers.edu Statistics: stat.rutgers.edu (fac) Faculty/Staff not covered by the above machines: cancer.rutgers.edu Systems Staff: klinzhai.rutgers.edu, cs.rutgers.edu, hardees.rutgers.edu, gandalf.rutgers.edu Student consultants: gandalf.rutgers.edu McCormick Hall residents: dorm.rutgers.edu There is a machine, pilot.njin.net, which is available to any Faculty/Staff member at any New Jersey college by request. As such, using finger lastname@pilot.njin.net may be useful in finding someone at any of the non-Rutgers colleges in NJ. Saint Anselm College: Students, Faculty, Staff: anselm!username@dartmouth.edu Usernames are of the form flllllll, where f is the first letter of the first name and lllllll are the first seven letters of the last name. If a last name has less than 7 letters, the entire last name is used. Saint Anselm College is a UUCP client of dartvax, the Dartmouth College system. All news and email is fed via a data transmission made twice daily (1am and 1pm). San Diego State University: Faculty and Staff: flastname@sciences.sdsu.edu where f is the first initial followed by the last name. To access the campus phone directory: (1) whois -h sciences.sdsu.edu name where name is the last name of the person you want. (2) telnet to sciences.sdsu.edu and log in as whois telnet sciences.sdsu.edu SunOS UNIX (sciences) login: whois ***** College of Sciences Online Phone Directory ***** You may: * Enter a name the way you think it is spelled. * Enter '=' followed by the first part of a correctly spelled name. * Enter '+' followed by an E-mail address. * Enter '#' followed by a telephone number. * Enter '*' followed by any part of a name. * Enter '$' followed by a first name (sound alike) * Enter '!' followed by a first name. * Enter '?' or 'help' to display this message. * Enter ^D or a blank line to terminate. San Francisco State University: Created: Tue Apr 6 1993 Domain: sfsu.edu Santa Clara University: Students and faculty with accounts there, at least in some cases, may be reached as FLLLLLLL@scuacc.scu.edu, where FLLLLLLLL is the first initial and LLLLLLL is the last name (or perhaps the first n characters of the last name). The IP address for SCUACC.SCU.EDU is 129.210.8.1. You might want to contact the postmaster there for further information. The telephone number for the Acedemic Computer Center is 408/554-4082 Scripps College (Claremont, CA): Changed: Sat Jul 3 1993 Finger flllllll@grover.claremont.edu. Mail to: flast@scripps.claremont.edu (Novell network) Finger at: charon.claremont.edu (Charon mail server) Charon knows nothing about users unless they're logged in (and crashes regularly). Seattle University: Everybody (students and faculty) are on the same machine, @seattleu.edu Seattle Pacific University Created: Fri Oct 8 1993 @spu.edu Simon Fraser University: Changed: Mon Feb 15 1993 All students, staff and faculty have accounts on the campus computing network (CCN). The domain name is @sfu.ca. User information is available through an X.500 directory service, which can be accessed via the finger program: finger f_l@whistler.sfu.ca, where f is the first name and l is the last name. Computing Science and allied units also maintain a separate subdomain cs.sfu.ca (Centre for Systems Science). Users generally have the same accounts on this domain as they do on the CCN. Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, NY, 12866 (518) 584-5000 Internet domain name: skidmore.edu Bitnet node name: skidmore All e-mail is collected by scott.skidmore.edu (141.222.1.4) Usernames normally take the form first initial and first seven characters of the last name. You can also employ "fname.lname", giving the complete first and last names separated by a dot. Contact LDG@SCOTT.SKIDMORE.EDU for any delivery problems or other questions about the College. Smith College (Northampton, MA): Changed: Wed Mar 24 1993 Try flllllll@smith.smith.edu Sonoma State University: fname.lname@sonoma.edu Southwest Texas State University: cs and math faculty or grad students: @swtexas.bitnet (most user IDs are cs_lastname or ma_lastname) Stanford: Changed: Wed Mar 24 1993 Stanford has implemented a finger service for its whois database. Try "finger name@stanford.edu" first -- most students and lots of staff and faculty now have their e-mail addresses registered with this service. Name can be lastname, or for better results flllll or fmllllll. Alternatively, this service can be accessed via whois: whois -h stanford.edu name If that doesn't work, most students (and lots of staff and faculty) have accounts on leland.stanford.edu. The finger daemon on leland was turned off by December 1992; try its various clients: elaine0 through elaine53(.stanford.edu) A couple of other machines to try: CS (Grad and undergrad): xenon.stanford.edu Geology/Earth sciences: pangea.stanford.edu EE: sierra.stanford.edu Psychology: psych.stanford.edu St. John's University (Collegeville, MN): Created: Wed Mar 24 1993 Students: fmllllll%tiny@msus1.msus.edu St. Olaf College (Northfield, MN): UNIX accounts are created for all students upon their admission to the College. Not all faculty and staff have accounts yet, but we're working on that. General address form: lname@stolaf.edu Last name conflicts are usually resolved by adding first and/or middle initials to the end of the last name. Try fingering Lname@stolaf.edu (note the capital letter). Try using the St. Olaf Gopher information server at gopher.stolaf.edu. Phonebook information can be found under "St. Olaf Information". Try sending email to postmaster@stolaf.edu describing the person you're trying to contact. CSO phone book server at cso.stolaf.edu. Stevens Institute of Technology (Hoboken, NJ, USA) Created: Mon Jul 5 1993 Send mail to username@SITVAX.STEVENS-TECH.EDU, where username is of the form "first initial lastname" truncated to 8 characters, with a uniqueness number. For example, John Smith would have the username JSMITH, but Jane Smith (who's account was added after John's) would have JSMITH1. We hope to add a Campus Information Server in Fall'93 to make it easier to find people. This record will be updated when that occurs. SUNY/Albany: Created: Mon Aug 23 1993 Students: flnnnn@albnyvms.bitnet (VAX cluster) or @albnyvm1 (IBM system) where nnnn is last 4 digits of social security number. SUNY/Alfred (Alfred, NY) (SUNY College of Technology at Alfred) Students and faculty: llllllfm@snyalfva.cc.alfredtech.edu (lastname, firstname, middlename, though middle name sometimes isn't used. SUNY/Binghamton: (Binghamton, NY) Changed: Sat Mar 27 1993 In order to contact someone at SUNY-Binghamton you'll have to give them a call; there is no way of figuring out a student's address given their name, as the mapping is random (sequential in the order people apply for accounts). Undergrads: bXNNNNN@HOSTNAME.cc.binghamton.edu where X is a letter depending on what year they got their account: 91/92: A 92/93: B(?); NNNNN are random digits, almost always starting with 0; HOSTNAME is either bingvaxa (VMS), bingsuns (SunOS), bingvmb (IBM), or bingtjw (IBM). Older userids are of the form vyNNNN@bingvaxa, and bgNNNN@bingvmb. Interested undergrads tend to have accounts on bingvaxa, though those in Math/CS classes will have accounts on bingsuns. An e-mail directory for some faculty and staff is available; telnet to bingvmb.cc.binghamton.edu DIAL VTAM ELIXIR Choose from menu. SUNY/Buffalo: Grads, Undergrads: username@ubvms.cc.buffalo.edu [finger not possible] Userids of the form VNNNXXXX where NNN are the first 3 digits of one's social security number, and XXXX are 4 alphanumerics representing the rest of the social security number. General Computing Center (students): username@acsu.buffalo.edu ubvms is a VAX, and most students had accounts there. Recently, however, more people are getting accounts on acsu, the Unix system. Engineering Students: username@eng.buffalo.edu EE Students: username@beatrix.eng.buffalo.edu CS Dept: username@cs.buffalo.edu (username@sunybcs.bitnet) The usernames for the acsu, cs (and possibly eng) seems to be formed by something appoximating the following rules: 1) If lastname is <=8 character, 1.1) if it does not already exist as a username, then username=lastname. (eg. smith) 1.2) else username is first initial + lastname (eg. jsmith) 2) If lastname is too long, and a middle initial exists, then username is initials (eg. jcs) 3) If lastname is too long but no middle initial exists, then username is the first 5 chars of the last name, a -, and then the initial. (eg. James Smithenson would be smith-j). The cs and acsu domains share mail alias files, so mail to a username at either cs.buffalo.edu or acsu.buffalo.edu will arrive at the user in the same mailbox. There are also geog (Geography), arch (Architecture) and med (Medicine) domains. SUNY/Canton students: llllllll@scanva.bitnet, also try @snycanva.bitnet SUNY/Geneseo students: fmlyy@geneseo.bitnet .. yy is graduation year I dont know about faculty, it might be on @snygenva.bitnet. SUNY/Potsdam students: llllllss@snypotvb.bitnet .. where ss are last 2 digits of SS# faculty: llllllfm@snypotva.bitnet SUNY/Stony Brook: Undergraduates: flllllll@ccvm.sunysb.edu (sbccvm.bitnet) flllllll@ccmail.sunysb.edu (sbccmail.bitnet) (servers ccsinc.bitnet and ccnova.bitnet) flllllll@ic.sunysb.edu (servers are libserv1, csserv1, csserv2, eeserv1; can't finger). CS Folks: cs.sunysb.edu (cs is an alias to the host sbcs) You can also use the campus "white pages", whois -h sunysb.edu ... or try fingering at fllll@sunysb.edu Syracuse Univ.: CompSci Grads/Faculty: top.cis.syr.edu Many CompSci graduates and faculty have accounts on this machine; the usual username pattern is "lastname@top.cis.syr.edu" Some faculty and staff: SUADMIN.bitnet (suadmin.syr.edu) Other students and faculty: mailbox.syr.edu sunrise.syr.edu (VAX 8820/VMS) suvm.acs.syr.edu (IBM 3090/CMS) suvm.acs.syr.edu and sunrise.syr.edu are run by the SU Computing Services. Undergrads usually have accounts on sunrise (which is a VAX VMS cluster). Both hosts are on bitnet as suvm and sunrise. The pattern for all these hosts is: first-initial + middle-initial + as much of the last name as possible. White-Pages: "finger name@syr.edu" will search the online catalog white pages for a registered user that has his/her information public. Mutliple matches produces multiple output. "finger @syr.edu" for more details. The same information is available via a BITNET directory server (NSERVE@SUVM.BITNET), through PSI's X.500 project, and through whois -h syr.edu Phone Book: The Syracuse Phone book has the same e-mail addresses as are available in the White pages, but as it's only printed once a year they are usually out of date. Dialing (315) 443-1870 is campus information; if the userid exists in the phonebook, the people there will be happy to give it out. consult@mailbox.syr.edu -- If the username exists, and that person doesn't mind having it handed out, this userid will check into it beforehand and reply via mail. Swarthmore: Changed: Tue Aug 3 1993 Most Students/Faculty/Staff: FLLLLLLN@cc.swarthmore.edu, where F is the user's first initial, and LLLLLL is the first six letters of their last name. A '1' (one) is appended in most cases, though for duplicates the number is incremented. To find people, send mail to postmaster. You can also finger people by their last name. As of fall 1993: some students may be reached at lastname@sccs.swarthmore.edu Computing Centre staff: usually lastname@cc.swarthmore.edu CS: Usually, lastname@cs.swarthmore.edu Engineering: usually lastname@engin.swarthmore.edu Tampere Univ. of Technology (Tampere, Finland): Created: Mon Sep 6 1993 Host: tut.fi. Finger available. Texas A&M University: All students can have an account on a VAX cluster, a heterogeneous set of UNIX boxes, or a VM/CMS machine. Probably less than 30% of the student body (40K students) takes advantage of this. The format of the usernames is FML#### where fml are the initials and #### is the last four digits of the SSN. If a student has no middle initial then '0' (Zero) is used. These domain is "tamu.edu" and the machine could be any of several choices like venus, rigel, summa, sigma, etc. General Unix: tamuts.tamu.edu, tamaix.tamu.edu, tamsun.tamu.edu General VAX/VMS: zeus.tamu.edu, venus.tamu.edu, summa.tamu.edu, sigma.tamu.edu, rigel.tamu.edu General VM/CMS: tamvm1.tamu.edu Finding addresses: Try fingering lastname@tamsun.tamu.edu or lastname@tamu.edu. (tamu.edu uses ph, the CSO Nameserver) The computer science department's domain is "cs.tamu.edu". The statistics dept is "stat.tamu.edu". The username format on these machines is usually fffffffl or flllllll. Some old accounts may have first names or last names only. The math department's domain is math.tamu.edu. There are about a million other departmental machines with varying names but I believe they are all in the form "xxx.tamu.edu". Trinity College (Hartford CT): Students, staff, and faculty: firstname.lastname@mail.trincoll.edu mail.trincoll.edu is currently equivalent to trincoll.edu Tufts University: tufts.edu, tufts.bitnet United States Air Force Academy Cadets: CDTnnnn@saturn.usafa.af.mil Computer science: host kirk.usafa.af.mil Finger works at both sites. Univ. of Aalborg: @iesd.auc.dk Univ. of Aarhus (Dennmark) Created: Wed Mar 24 1993 Computer Science: @daimi.aau.dk Univ. of Akron: Academic Machines: Faculty, Grad, Undergrad vax1.cc.uakron.edu (vax, so finger works) vm1.cc.uakron.edu (vms, so finger doesn't work) vm1 is also known as akronvm.bitnet Most students and faculty have accounts on either of these machines. Usernames are usually r1 for faculty, r2 for graduate students, and r3 for undergrads, followed by first, middle, and last initials. (If the student doesn't have a middle initial it is omitted.) Naming conflicts are resolved by adding a digit to the end of the userid (e.g., 1, 2, ... 9). for example: mine is r2sk9@vax1.cc.uakron.edu... Engineering Machines: Grad, undergrad file01.ecgf.uakron.edu (unix, but no fingering) file02.ecgf.uakron.edu (unix, but no fingering) Userid's normally begin with the first two letters of the person's major (el = electrical, me = mechanical) followed by 4 digits to make 6 digit userid. Undergrads are given id's of form bsxxxx. Math Department machines: Faculty, Grad, Undergrad vonneuman.cs.uakron.edu (unix and fingering works) Only math students or students enrolled in courses offered by math dept have accounts. finger works with first,lastnames or userid's. userid's for grads and faculty are by their last names. undergrads and class accounts begin with sun followed by three digits making 6 letter userid. Mechanical Engineering Machines: Grad,faculty Any grad engineering student can have an account. Finger doesn't work for these machines. starshine.mech.uakron.edu sunshine.mech.uakron.edu moonshine.mech.uakron.edu Userid's are first names. Univ. of Alabama at Huntsville: Domain: uah.edu asn.net (asnuah.asn.net) School of Engineering: xxx..x@ebs330.eb.uah.edu CS dept : xxx..x@uahcs2.cs.uah.edu Math dept: xxx.x@sun3.math.uah.edu Grad std/Research : xxx.x@asnuah.asn.net Univ. of Alabama at Tuscaloosa: Domain: ua.edu College of Engineering: flastname@buster.eng.ua.edu Seebeck Computing Center: flllllln@ua1vm.ua.edu, where n is 1 for an undergraduate, 3 for a graduate student, and black for faculty/staff Others: cs.ua.edu, asncray.asc.edu etc. Help: postmaster@ua1vm.ua.edu Univ. of Alaska Changed: Tue Jun 29 1993 Bitnet: username@alaska.bitnet Internet: username@acadO.alaska.edu Usernames are of the form CTFMLN where: C=Campus A is for U of A Anchorage B is for non-university related accounts (very rare) D is for Kodiak College F is for U of A Fairbanks G is for Tanana Valley I is for Kenai Peninsula College J is for U of A Southeast (in Juneau) K is for U of A Southeast (Ketchikan branch) L is for Bethel N is for Nome P is for Mat-Su College (in Palmer) S is for system-wide personnel and organizations T is for U of A Southeast (Sitka branch) V is for Prince William Sound Community College (in Valdez) Z is for Kotzebue T is for usage type. S is for an undergraduate student T is for a graduate student F is for faculty N is for staff X is for consultants Y is for administration and organizations. H is for temporary guest accounts R is for research FML is the initials of first, middle, and last names, respectively. N is a number, and is only given (and then it starts from one) if there are more than one person at the same school with the same status and initials O is the computer that the person is on. 1 is Southeast and affiliated schools 2 is Anchorage and its affiliates (Kodiak, Kenai, Mat-Su, and Prince William Sound) 3 is Fairbanks and affiliates However, a person with enough access can use other campus' computers. acad2 and acad3 (.alaska.edu) can be fingered (usernames only - VMS finger). Fingering these computers will not tell you the person's name. There are also other computers in the alaska.edu domain. SX accounts (computer system administrators and testing accounts) usually are on orca.alaska.edu and also on at least one of the acadO's. orca cannot be fingered. A student, faculty, or staff member can request an account on camelot.acf-lab.alaska.edu, also. This computer can also be fingered. Other computers in alaska.edu may not use this username assignment, but orca.alaska.edu and camelot.acf-lab.alaska.edu do. Univ. of Arizona: Historically computer access at the UA had been limited to students, faculty and staff who had either a job, or a class which required a computer. Recently the Unix Users Group at the University of Arizona began providing General Access Systems for no charge to UA students. The machines are configured from donated, loaned and retired equipment and managed by volunteer effort. As a volunteer effort, there is not time to respond to postmaster requests for usernames so please do not send address requests to the postmaster. Use the finger utility instead; it will respond to "real name" requests (in the following "gas" means "gas.uug.arizona.edu"): finger -l kennedy@gas gotobed@gas |grep "Login name:" Login name: bjk In real life: Brian J. Kennedy Login name: kennedys In real life: Steven A Kennedy Login name: jgotobed In real life: Joe Gotobed While we are attempting to support a rational username policy, it is not foolproof as this example shows. If the finger info returns nothing, the person has no account on these systems. Due to limited disk capacity, ( < 1Mb per account) the usage is limited primarily to internet news, telnet, ftp and email. There are currently about 500 students and a capacity of about 3,000 accounts. While accounts are currently limited to students, we expect to provide access to the general staff & faculty sometime in the spring of 1993. There are nearly a hundred subdomains at the University, each with their own access policies, username assignments and email schemes. If the finger utility does not reveal the address of a friend, a phone call to them asking for their address is probably the most efficient way to discover it. Many faculty and staff are on ccit.arizona.edu. If someone tells you they are on "cosy" or "icosy," forget it; you can't send mail to them (although they can send mail to you). Undergrads in Computer Science are on caslon.cs.arizona.edu. Undergrads in Engineering are on a cluster of Suns; try evax2.engr.arizona.edu. Grad students and Faculty are usually given accounts on their department/college systems. Try math.arizona.edu; physics.arizona.edu; mis.arizona.edu; cs.arizona.edu, etc. In the School of Business, you can try FirstinitialLastname (e.g. RReagan) @bpa.arizona.edu with very good success. If FirstinitialLastname is ambiguous, a username might be LastnameFirstinitial instead. (Main site was mis.arizona.edu until late 1992). On BITNET send mail to username@arizbpa.bitnet Arizona.EDU is the campus mail gateway, but only those who ask get aliases on Arizona.EDU. You could try last-name@Arizona.EDU if you suspect the person you want uses EMAIL a lot. Univ. of Atlanta: @auc.UUCP Univ. of British Columbia (Vancouver, BC, Canada) Domain ubc.ca. Public accounts might be on unixg.ubc.ca. Computer Science is cs.ubc.ca Univ. of Calgary General (Students/Faculty): @acs.ucalgary.ca CS students/faculty: @cpsc.ucalgary.ca for all faculty, staff, grads, undergrads - often last name, or first name, or initials. or last name followed by initials. Univ. of California/Berkeley: Changed: Mon Aug 23 1993 Undergraduates in General: uclink.berkeley.edu or ocf.berkeley.edu Faculty, staff, and graduate students can also get accounts on ocf.berkeley.edu. Undergrad CS/EE, 1st Year Grad: cory.berkeley.edu (This is for undergrad juniors and seniors and first year graduate students. Most other graduate students have their own workstations. For freshmen and sophomores, one must look for a class account or ocf public cluster. Undergrads now have to pay for accounts on cory, so fewer people will be using it.) soda and ucsee are run by students (CS Undergrad Association and UC Society of EEs, respectively). First Year Graduate CS students: try cory.berkeley.edu or xcssun.berkeley.edu. antipodes.berkeley.edu CS Faculty, Grads, Staff: cs.berkeley.edu (aliases mail address) CS Grad Students: snake.cs.berkeley.edu. Good systems to try are (all .cs.berkeley.edu or .berkeley.edu) sprite, harmony, sequoia, larch, robotics, postgres, and ginger. tenet.icsi.berkeley.edu also has some CS grad students on it. Many machines in the department are now foo.cs.berkeley.edu, but not all are. EE Faculty: esvax, ic, cad, or a workstation Janus will be going away soon, as will ucbarpa. Many csgrads will have mail aliases on cs.berkeley.edu, which will eventually support finger. Systems to try for grad students are (all .berkeley.edu): sprite, harmony, sequoia, yew, larch, robotics, postgres, and ginger. Soon, these will be moved into the cs.berkeley.edu subdomain instead of berkeley.edu subdomain (ie, you'd finger @sprite.cs.berkeley.edu). This will happen soon, but hasn't happened yet. Names for the above accounts are usually, but not always, combinations of the user's real first, middle and last names and/or initials. However, finger will search the "real name" field as well as the account name. There are many class accounts (which all students get). These are found on web.berkeley.edu,bard.berkeley.edu, and xcssun.berkeley.edu. zooey, buddy, franny, and seymour too, except they're being retired. Danube, amazon, congo, po, and volga and a cluster of stars (named after stars) are supposed to be the replacements. web and buddy hold classes that freshmen and sophomores often take. seymour and franny are often used for classes for business majors. Class account usernames are typically cnnn-mxx or ennn-mxx, where 'c' or 'e' denotes CS or EE, nnn is the course number, m is the section number (not always used), and xx are two letters. Statistics class accounts are of the form s#xxxx, where # is the class number and xxxx is some string of alphabetic characters. These accounts live on gandalf.berkeley.edu. Statistics cluster computers are named after Tolkien characters. qal.berkeley.edu is used for courses in "practical computer use" (taught by the anthropology department). Account names are 193xxx, where xxx is the last name of the user. Math (Graduate and Faculty): math.berkeley.edu Stat Department: stat.berkeley.edu Physics Grads and Undergrads: physics.berkeley.edu Mech. E Profs & Grads: euler.berkeley.edu, tycho.berkeley.edu Public Cluster (some undergrads): ocf.berkeley.edu School of Education: soe.berkeley.edu Other machines to try: ucbvax.berkeley.edu garnet.berkeley.edu and violet.berkeley.edu are the most likely place for a pay-for-use account. Some departments maintain accounts on these machines for faculty and staff, though, so these machines are the place to try for faculty affiliated with departments that have no real computing facilities. Almost anyone on campus can pay for an account on these machines. Some of the class accounts are also on congo. Generally addresses for the first semester classes are: CS 60A - c60a-__@danube CS 3 - c3-1a__@amazon or c3-1b__@congo School administration has set up the computer uclink.berkeley.edu, for staff or students who want an account (they can keep it for the time that they are there). It's supposedly on a pilot program, but many students are getting accounts there. As of summer 1993 it is expanding rapidly to cover all faculty, staff, and students. Also, people can look for staff people on whois.berkeley.edu. postmaster@nettlesome.berkeley.edu should be considered as a last choice when looking from someone electronically. Univ. of California/Davis: @ucdavis.edu -- works if you know their account name userids are of the form fmlllll. @clover.ucdavis.edu -- works for anyone in the CS department whois -h ucdavis.edu CS: First.Last@cs.ucdavis.edu Engineering/CS: First.Last@ee.ucdavis.edu or First.Last@eecs.ucdavis.edu Univ. of California/Irvine: CS Undergrads: bonnie.ics.uci.edu Mail sometimes restricted; policy has changed several times. Userid usually FLLLLLLL (8 char max); sometimes FFFFFFFL. CS Grads/Staff/Faculty: ics.uci.edu Faculty userids are usually their last names, sometimes initials, a few firstname only. Grads usually FLLLLLLL, some lastname only. Staff sometimes firstname, sometimes lastname. Other departments: mostly grads; userids usually lastname. Biology dept: sanger.bio.uci.edu EE: balboa.eng.uci.edu Physics dept: skid.ps.uci.edu Social sciences: ss.uci.edu Try fingering fname-lname@XX.uci.edu (for XX=ics,sanger.bio, etc.) There are two types of accunts on orion.oac.uci.edu: (1) Staff in the Office of Academic Computing (2) Students Staff userids on orion are usually FLLLLLLL, 8 char max. The student accounts on orion are different, though. Any student can get an orion account, but not a lot do. The userids for these accounts are seven characters as follows: first "ea", then two characters representing major and grad vs. undergrad status, respectively, (e.g., i = information & computer science, u = undergrad), then three random digits. Non-staff orion users tend to use their accounts infrequently because of usage limits. Univ. of California/Los Angeles (UCLA): CS: @cs.ucla.edu @oahu.cs.ucla.edu MATH: @math.ucla.edu, @sonia.math.ucla.edu, @oak.math.ucla.edu (graduate students, staff, faculty) EE grads & faculty: ee.ucla.edu (network of RTs and SUNs running unix. Each machine has the name of a famous engineer: watt.ee.ucla.edu, joule.ee.ucla.edu, etc) Usernames vary; try fname, lastname,... AGSM: @agsm.ucla.edu @uclagsm (Anderson Graduate School of Management) All of students , staffs and faculty have their user ID. User ID: FLLLLLLL (max 8 characters) Class Accounts: pic.ucla.edu (PIC = program in computing) These get cleared every quarter. Account names are usually the course number followed by three letters chosen by the student. If you finger @laguna.pic.ucla.edu, you get more detailed info, such as when the user last logged on, etc. Engineering: seas.ucla.edu This is a server for a network for the school of engineering and applied sciences. Any engineering graduate student can get an account on it, and many undergrads have accounts on it for classes. This machine has access to USENET. Anybody: oac.ucla.edu An IBM 3090. Anyone in UCLA can get an open access account on this to send mail, etc. Account names on this machine are terribly cryptic (such as IZZYR33).
