Newark NJ 07021
|
|
CS PhD Studs: user@newark.njit.edu
|
|
Grad Studs: user@hertz.njit.edu (ultrix), user@tesla.njit.edu (vms)
|
|
|
|
New Mexico Institute Of Mining And Technology:
|
|
Try finger name@nmt.edu or finger name@jupiter.nmt.edu. Jupiter is
|
|
the main server; CS students generally have accounts on
|
|
minos.nmt.edu. Accounts generally seem to be of the form FLLLLLLL.
|
|
|
|
New Mexico State Univ.:
|
|
Virtually all email addresses are of the form fllllll@nmsu.edu. Finger
|
|
is not well supported. Mail to postmaster should help. (Also, if you
|
|
have an account, there is a postmaster program.)
|
|
|
|
New York University (NYU)
|
|
Addresses for students at NYU are fml####@acfcluster.nyu.edu, where f,
|
|
m, l are first, middle, last initials and #### are the last four
|
|
digits of the social security number. All students and staff can get
|
|
limited mail accounts by requesting them. Some users have nicknames:
|
|
lastname, or lllllf, or lllllff.
|
|
|
|
North Carolina State University (Raleigh, NC) Changed: Mon Jul 5 1993
|
|
Whois server on gyro.cc.ncsu.edu also accepts requests via finger.
|
|
All whois entries have Snail addresses, some have e-mail.
|
|
Faculty/Staff: accounts on adm.csc.ncsu.edu. No specific naming
|
|
convention for faculty accounts.
|
|
Graduate Students: accounts on druid.csc.ncsu.edu. login names are
|
|
gr-xxx where xxx are the initials of the person. However, using the
|
|
person first or last name will also work.
|
|
All engineers have accounts on eos.ncsu.edu
|
|
Most undergraduate id's are fmllllll@eos.ncsu.edu
|

North Dakota Network
|
|
This section describes how to find email addresses for students who
|
|
attend Public Colleges and Universities in North Dakota.
|
|
|
|
ND HECN PLAINS (@plains.bitnet) -or- (@plains.nodak.edu)
|
|
This is a Unix system. All userids are given out according to last
|
|
name or possibly a first initial added in front. You are able to
|
|
finger these accounts.
|
|
|
|
ND HECN CMS (@ndsuvm1.bitnet) -or- (@vm1.nodak.edu)
|
|
This is a VM/SP (CMS) system. Userids are a bit more complicated here...
|
|
The ND HECN (No-Dak Higher Education Computer Network) consists of the
|
|
following schools.. Their 2-letter school code follows.
|
|
Bismarck State College (BJ) North Dakota State University (NU)
|
|
University of North Dakota (UD) Dickinson State College (DS)
|
|
Williston State College (WS) Bottineau State College (BT)
|
|
Lake Region Community College (LR) Valley City State College (VC)
|
|
Mayville State College (MV) Minot State College (MN)
|
|
State School of Science (SS)
|
|
Userids given out prior to (approximately) August 1991 are assigned a
|
|
userid according to the following: Userids are in the form of
|
|
LL######. LL is the "School Code" (see above). The #'s are the first
|
|
6 digits of the user's NAID number.
|
|
|
|
Userids given out after August 1991 are assigned according to last
|
|
name, or with part of their first name in front if the account is
|
|
already taken. They are trying to give you the same userid as your
|
|
plain's id (if you have one). Also, people with the 'old id' can
|
|
request to have their account renamed to the new format. You are able
|
|
to finger accounts on ndsuvm1, but as of 02-26-92 student names are
|
|
not yet available to finger. (It will tell you if the account at least
|
|
exists tho). Faculty/Staff names are available to finger. Each
|
|
college has an 'administrative' account with the form LL0ADMIN. (LL =
|
|
School Code). I don't know if they will give out userids, but it's
|
|
worth a try.
|
|
|
|
UND School of Medicine: try First.Last@medicine.und.nodak.edu for
|
|
staff and faculty; no student accounts as of Fall 1992. For help
|
|
finding someone, try 'finger' or contact
|
|
postmaster@medicine.und.nodak.edu
|
|
|
|
Northeastern: Changed: Mon Jul 5 1993
|
|
Finger name@lynx.dac.northeastern.edu where <name> is a first-name,
|
|
last-name, or username. All students, faculty, staff, and alumni
|
|
can have accounts, but they have to be requested.
|
|
Student usernames are usually flllllll, but many students pick there
|
|
own variations. Many students never log in again once their class
|
|
is through.
|
|
|
|
Northern Arizona University (Flagstaff, Arizona, USA)
|
|
You can use any of the following ways to locate people at Northern
|
|
Arizona University. If one doesn't work, try the next. NOTE: not
|
|
everyone at NAU has an electronic mailbox.
|
|
1. finger PERSON@info.nau.edu
|
|
where PERSON is any part of a person's name that you know. You may
|
|
have to use quotes, as in: finger "Jane Doe"@info.nau.edu. This is a
|
|
"white pages" style database. For more help on this system: finger
|
|
@info.nau.edu
|
|
2. mail FIRSTNAME.LASTNAME@nau.edu
|
|
where FIRSTNAME and LASTNAME are the person you're trying to reach.
|
|
You may need to specify FIRSTNAME.MIDDLEINITIAL.LASTNAME
|
|
3. send mail to the site postmaster: mail postmaster@nau.edu
|
|
Some subdomains have postmasters e.g. postmaster@cse.nau.edu for
|
|
the Computer Science and Engineering department.
|
|
|
|
Northern Illinois University (DeKalb, IL) Created: Mon Jul 5 1993
|
|
Encore MultiMax (mp.cs.niu.edu). CSCI students may have accounts on
|
|
this UNIX-based machine if their classes require it. Class accounts
|
|
are of the form 'T90nnnn' where 'nnnn' is a randomly-assigned
|
|
four-digit number. Undergraduate and graduate TA's may have
|
|
accounts of the form 'T90fml1', where f=first initial, m=middle
|
|
initial, and l=last initial. Substitute the letter 'X' for a
|
|
missing middle initial. Older TA's may have an '8' or '9'
|
|
substituted for the '1'. Students who work for Academic Computing
|
|
Services, or are of a major other than CSCI, may also have accounts.
|
|
Use 'finger' for more info.
|
|
CSCI LAN (csci.niu.edu) All CSCI faculty members and some graduate
|
|
students have accounts on this Novell LAN of the form 'T90fml1',
|
|
same as above.
|
|
Amdahl 5890 (vm.cso.niu.edu) CSCI students may have accounts on this
|
|
mainframe running MVS and VM if their classes require it. Class
|
|
accounts are of the form 'T90nnnn', same as above. All TA's have an
|
|
account of the form 'T90fml1'.

Northwestern: Changed: Tue Feb 23 1993
|
|
General e-mail services are shared by casbah.acns.nwu.edu
|
|
(129.105.113.52) and merle.acns.nwu.edu (129.105.113.57). Merle is
|
|
in full production as of the beginning of 1993, although there are
|
|
not yet that many accounts on it. This will change. Both Casbah
|
|
and Merle support finger requests.
|
|
If you have access to a PH electronic database client, you can use
|
|
ns.nwu.edu for a ph-nameserver. Users must personally register an
|
|
e-mail address in this database for a query to provide one -- it is
|
|
not done automatically. If you do not have access to a PH client,
|
|
the default PH-based address is <alias@nwu.edu> where the default
|
|
alias is f-lastname (first initial-last name). Many people choose
|
|
to remove the hyphen or replace the default alias with their
|
|
initials, or just about anything else. The default is a good thing
|
|
or any reason, PH responds with fairly
|
|
complete information, in plain english, including other possible
|
|
aliases, if there is a conflict.

|
|
Usernames can be hard to discover; postmaster@nstu.nsk.su is willing
|
|
to be helpful in tracking usernames.

|
|
|
Oakland University (Rochester, MI) Changed: Thu Mar 25 1993
|
|
Hosts: vela.acs.oakland.edu, argo.acs.oakland.edu
|
|
Many departments maintain their own systems but their users usually
|
|
have accounts on either vela or argo as well.
|
|
Userids: Students: FMlastname Faculty: Lastname
|
|
Finger: on vela, use any portion of the name. On argo, you can only
|
|
finger the userid.

|
Oberlin (Oberlin, Ohio): Changed: Tue Mar 30 1993
|
|
Many students and faculty have accounts on ocvaxa, which can be
|
|
reached as ocvaxa.cc.oberlin.edu. Administrative staff members have
|
|
accounts on ocvaxc, which can be reached as ocvaxc.cc.oberlin.edu.
|
|
This is an internet-only site.
|
|
Student User IDs are of the form: S+first & last initials + last 4
|
|
digits of the student ID (e.g. SDG1234)
|
|
Faculty IDs are of the form: F + lastname.
|
|
Best bet is to send mail to postmaster@ocvaxa.cc.oberlin.edu
|
|
CS students/faculty: occs.cs.oberlin.edu (student usernames are mostly
|
|
last names, occasionally with a first initial to disambiguate;
|
|
faculty and staff are generally 3 initials).
|
|
You can also send mail to postmaster.
|
|
|
|
Ohio State University:
|
|
Faculty, Staff, Graduate students: flllllll@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu
|
|
CS Students, Faculty and Staff: cis.ohio-state.edu, with
|
|
username lastname, fllllll, llllll-f, fml, firstname or lllll-fm.
|
|
Faculty and staff are mostly first or last name.
|
|
|
|
Also, some students have their accounts aliased so that
|
|
you can send mail/finger to lastname.#@osu.edu
|
|
where # is required and is anything from 1 on up to infinity
|
|
(these numbers can get very large for names like Smith, i.e. in
|
|
the thousands). "whois -h osu.edu" and telneting to osu.edu should
|
|
also work.

Oxford University (Oxford, England): Changed: Sat Mar 27 1993
|
|
Telnet to info.ox.ac.uk, which presents you with an online information
|

system, one of whose subsystems is an electronic mail directory
|
|
showing all authorized users who are willing to be so listed.

Penn State Univ.: Changed: Wed Mar 24 1993
|
|
Domain: psu.edu
|
|
The Electronic Bulletin Board contains, among many other things, the
|
|
entire student, staff, and faculty directory. To use EBB, connect
|
|
to psuvm.psu.edu from an Internet-connected site using tn3270 (You
|
|
can also telnet to cac3270.psu.edu if you do not have a 3270
|
|
emulator, but will have to supply a terminal type). After the
|
|
initial logon screen appears, type the RETURN key and the screen
|
|
will clear. Type "ebb" and hit RETURN, and you will get the
|
|
top-level EBB menu, one item of which is "DIRECTORY". Typing "dir"
|
|
and RETURN will select the university directory. The rest should be
|
|
obvious, but for a couple of other points: EBB assumes you're using
|
|
an IBM terminal, and displays help in the form of PF keys to move
|
|
around, etc. A simple "+" serves to scroll ahead, and "-" moves
|
|
backward. Typing the RETURN key alone will back up one level of
|
|
menus, so typing RETURN repeatedly will ultimately close the
|
|
connection.

All system names end with ".poly.edu", e.g. 'finger @Poly-TS.poly.edu'
|
|
Most login names begin with first initial then first seven character
|
|
of last name. Most undergrad users would be on george, gracie,
|
|
ishara, tasha and worf systems.

|
|
Pomona College (Claremont, CA):
|
|
Internet: fllllll@pomona.claremont.edu (bitnet flllll@pomona.bitnet)
|
|
|
|
Usernames are the first character of the first name, followed
|
|
by the full last name (John Doe would be JDOE). In case of conflicts,
|
|
the middle initial is used between first and last name. (If JDOE
|
|
already has an account, James A. Doe would be JADOE). Finger works.

|
|
Math Dept: math.princeton.edu
|
|
|
|
You can also try fingering at princeton.edu.
|
|
|
|
Usernames are usually FMLLLLLL, sometimes LLLLLLLL or FFFFFFFL
|
|
|
|
Purdue: Changed: Tue Jun 29 1993
|
|
At Purdue, engineering students (undergrad/grad) have accounts on
|
|
machines on the Engineering Computer Network (ECN). There are
|
|
hundreds of machines, but the main ones are named according to a
|
|
fairly discernible system, i.e.
|
|
|
|
e?.ecn.purdue.edu = Electrical c?.ecn.purdue.edu = Civil
|
|
k?.ecn.purdue.edu = Chemical g?.ecn.purdue.edu = Nuclear/Aero
|
|
m?.ecn.purdue.edu = Mechanical p?.ecn.purdue.edu = Potter Library
|
|
|
|
In each case, "?" is one of 'a', 'b', 'c', etc..check your local host
|
|
tables or nameserver for a current list. Undergrads usually end up on
|
|
the 'n' series of machines... en, mn, cn, and gn.
|
|
|
|
Effective 10/16/90, mail to ecn hosts need only be labeled with the
|
|
local domain. For example, user@ecn.purdue.edu. Mail sent there will
|
|
automatically be forwarded to the users mailbox.
|
|
|
|
Usernames on ecn machines are assigned according to user preferences.
|
|
Try the usual (initials, fllllll, first name, last name, etc.). You
|
|
can send mail to ecn.purdue.edu (which will forward it to the
|
|
appropriate machine). Also, if your finger supports arguments, doing a
|
|
'finger -l lastname' will find people by name regardless of account.
|
|
|
|
Other students (CS, math/stat, and science majors) usually have
|
|
accounts on machines operated by the Purdue University Computing
|
|
Center (PUCC). These machines are all in the ".cc.purdue.edu"
|
|
subdomain. Many usernames are based on the user's last name and
|
|
initials, but many still use three letter/number combinations which
|
|
have nothing to do with the user's name. Computing center staff
|
|
usernames are either a name chosen by the user, or a three-letter
|
|
combination beginning with "a". Additionally, "finger" with a name
|
|
argument will find all people with that name, so try "finger -l
|
|
lastname".
|
|
|
|
Students are found on the 'instructional' machines; the
|
|
dipproximately like this:
|
|
|
|
expert = low-level courses for non CS or EE majors, some CS courses
|
|
sage = more low-level courses, first semester CS
|
|
feserve = freshman engineering courses and some CS courses
|
|
sonata = some Math and CS courses
|
|
mentor = most other CS courses
|
|
|
|
Students not in one of these courses may still have an account on
|
|
expert or sage, since there are many smaller groups to which accounts
|
|
are issued. Also, any Purdue student may obtain a student personal
|
|
account on one of these machines.
|
|
|
|
Research users are found scattered around all the PUCC machines, but
|
|
speedy, rapid, and swift are the most likely places to find them.
|
|
Staff can always be reached through 'staff' regardless of where they
|
|
have their accounts.
|
|
|
|
In addition to those, there is an IBM mainframe which is found on the
|
|
Internet as vm.cc.purdue.edu or on BITNET as PURCCVM. It is used
|
|
primarily by research users and Computer Technology majors, and
|
|
students taking statistics courses. Some student personal accounts
|
|
are also on this machine Usernames are either based on the person's
|
|
real name or Xyyy where yyy is a 3-character PUCC ID.
|
|
|
|
Graduate CS students are found on machines in the ".cs.purdue.edu"
|
|
subdomain, including "arthur", "mordred", "merlin", and other machines
|
|
named after characters from the Arthurian legends. Mail to
|
|
cs.purdue.edu usually works.
|
|
|
|
Veterinary students are found on machines in the ".vet.purdue.edu"
|
|
subdomain; these machines are named after animals or other vet terms
|
|
e.g. "dog", "goat", "pharm"...Agricultural/Agronomy Engineering
|
|
students are found on machines in the ".acn.purdue.edu" subdomain;
|
|
these include "harvest", "barn", etc...Some folks in chemistry can be
|
|
found on machines in the ".chem.purdue.edu" subdomain; many of these
|
|
are named after items from the Dr. Who series, e.g. "doctor",
|
|
"tardis", "k9"...Some folks in psychology can be found on machines in
|
|
the ".psych.purdue.edu" subdomain; these machines are named after
|
|
Latin/South American countries, e.g. "peru", "brazil", "mexico",
|
|
"panama"...Some folks in biology can be found on machines in the
|
|
".bio.purdue.edu" subdomain; some of these machines are named after
|
|
Tolkien characters, e.g. "bilbo", "gollum"...Some folks in physics can
|
|
be found on machines in the ".physics.purdue.edu" subdomain; these
|
|
machines are named after physicists, e.g. "maxwell", "newton"... The
|
|
Krannert School of Management is in the .mgmt subdomain, with hosts
|
|
zeus and hera. Most management students will be found on a PUCC
|
|
machine.

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.

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
|
|
n 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
|
|

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.

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.
|
|
|

|
|
|
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:

|
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".
|

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.

|
|
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
|
|
hat 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

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.

|
|
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
|
|

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
|
|
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 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.
|
|
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 <name>
|
|
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).
|
|
|
|
Univ. of California/Santa Cruz:
|
|
Undergrads: ucscb.ucsc.edu
|
|
Other hosts include ucsc{c-e,o}.ucsc.edu, ucscvm.ucsc.edu, etc. All
|
|
these hosts (except for ucscb) are on bitnet as the first part of
|
|
their domain name.
|
|
A new host, cats.ucsc.edu, has been added as the mail address for
|
|
UCSC's version of Athena. Users can be fingered by username, first
|
|
name, or last name. Undergrads, grads, faculty, and some staff may
|
|
have accounts on cats. Users choose their own IDs, so you must use
|
|
finger to get an account name.
|
|
As of late fall 1992, the name space of cats and ucscb have been
|
|
merged, so that almost all students have the same userid on both
|
|
systems. However, there are (and will likely always be) separate
|
|
accounts on the 2 systmes that use the same name - so there will
|
|
remain differences between mailing to SomeAddress@cats and
|
|
SomeAddress@ucscb.
|
|
|
|
Univ. of California/San Diego (UCSD):
|
|
The primary mail gateway is ucsd.edu. This machine also has a
|
|
smart finger program, which will look up names that sound similar
|
|
to the one you fingered. Just "finger name@ucsd.edu".
|
|
|
|
Most usernames are the initial of the first name followed by the
|
|
last name, truncated to 8 characters, ie. "jfowler@ucsd.edu", but
|
|
this is not always the case (because most people don't like their
|
|
names truncated).
|
|
|
|
Machine sdcc13 houses the student personal accounts at present, but
|
|
mail to ucsd.edu will reach (almost) everyone on sdcc13.ucsd.edu.
|
|
|
|
If the person is a graduate student, faculty member, or staff
|
|
member try: weber (social sciences), cogsci (guess), bend
|
|
(linguistics), crl (some developmental psychology people).
|
|
|
|
Many, many other machines house course, faculty, staff, and research
|
|
accounts. Your best bet is to look the name up at ucsd.edu.
|
|
|
|
Univ. of Central Florida (Orlando)
|
|
CS dept: only grad students are given accounts. finger
|
|
lastname@eola.cs.ucf.edu

Engineering: finger initials@apocalypse.engr.ucf.edu
|
|
General: ucf1vm.cc.ucf.edu. (A bitnet node, so you cannot finger)

Univ. of Chicago: Changed: Thu Jul 1 1993
|
|
Undergraduates: midway.uchicago.edu (formerly tank.uchicago.edu)
|
|
(midway.uchicago.edu serves as a mail server for machines
|
|
named quads, ellis, and kimbark (.uchicago.edu). When midway
|
|
refuses connections, finger at one of the others.)
|
|
Grads and faculty may also be on quads, ellis, or kimbark.
|
|
CS Grads: gargoyle.uchicago.edu
|
|
Math: zaphod.uchicago.edu
|
|
Education: paideia.uchicago.edu
|
|
Chemistry: pico.uchicago.edu
|
|
Astronomy: oddjob.uchicago.edu (finger lastname)
|
|
Social sciences (Economics, History, Sociology, Political Science):
|
|
cicero.spc.uchicago.edu [also accepts 'finger']
|
|
Also Try: uchep.uchicago.edu
|
|
|
|
Mhave accounts on rainbow.uchicago.edu, in
|
|
addition to having accounts on their own workstations.
|
|
The University of Chicago now (fall91) runs the ph mail
|
|
system, so sending mail to finitial-lastname@uchicago.edu will
|
|
work if they've entered a real mailbox into their ph entry.
|
|
In case of name conflict, add additional initials beyond the
|
|
first. Questions should be directed to advisor@midway.uchicago.edu.
|
|
Unfortunately few people bother to input their e-mail addresses.

|
All students that ask for an account can get one on araucaria:
|
|
araucaria.cec.uchile.cl (Sun 690MP), uchcecvm.bitnet (IBM 390)
|
|
All students that have a class involving computers get an account on:
