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: Whois server on gyro.cc.ncsu.edu also accepts requests via finger All whois entries have Snail addresses, some have e-mail. 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: The engineering postmaster is postmaster@nueng.coe.northeastern.edu. For other mail, try postmaster@northeastern.edu 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. 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 to try, because if it fails for any reason, PH responds with fairly complete information, in plain english, including other possible aliases, if there is a conflict. Norwegian Institute of Technology: see University of Trondheim NCSU: 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 College of textiles comp. center: fmllllll@unity.ncsu.edu 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: Many students and faculty have accounts on ocvax{a,b}, which can be reached as oberlin.bitnet and ocvaxa.cc.oberlin.edu. 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@oberlin.bitnet 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. Ohio University (Athens OH): CS (UNIX): fllll@oucsace.cs.ohiou.edu CS (VMS): oucsduce.cs.ohiou.edu EE (grad students): fllll@bobcat.ent.ohiou.edu, @redskins.ent.ohiou.edu Undergrads (class accounts): OUACCVMB.BITNET Faculty: OUACCVMA.BITNET Oklahoma State/Stillwater: userid@rsc.ceat.okstate.edu Oregon Graduate Institute of Science and Technology: Only Graduate Students. Their host, ogccse, is @cse.ogc.edu. This recently changed to cse.ogi.edu. Oregon State: CS: mist.cs.orst.edu, prism.cs.orst.edu Oxford University (Oxford, England): Created: Wed Mar 24 1993 Host: vax.ox.ac.uk 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. Computer Science: cs.psu.edu (UNIX), crayola.cs.psu.edu (Ultrix) Math: math.psu.edu Polytechnic University (New York) This is a listing for Brooklyn and Farmingdale Campuses Code System Name Comments ---- ----------- ---------------- F borg X galileo F W george Farmingdale F W gracie Farmingdale F icon F W ishara Brooklyn F pixel F Poly-TS Polytech Information Server F prism F pucatt F puscs X rabbit X stealth F spark F sprite F tasha Farmingdale F thermal1 X vacuum X vm F W worf Brooklyn X wri Legend: F = Fingerable X = Nonfingerable W = At login: prompt typing in 'who' will list parties logged on 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. Portland State University (Portland, Oregon): Students: odin.cc.pdx.edu Princeton: Undergrads: phoenix.princeton.edu, pucc.princeton.edu (VM) pucc.bitnet. (Both phoenix and pucc are now fingerable.) CS Grad Studs/Faculty: cs.princeton.edu CogSci Lab: clarity.princeton.edu Math Dept: math.princeton.edu You can also try fingering at princeton.edu. Some people also have accounts on gauguin.princeton.edu Usernames are usually FMLLLLLL. Purdue: 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 distribution of major courses is approximately 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 one of these machines, 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 mace, boiler, and j 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. 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. 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: Changed: Wed Mar 24 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) 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 fllll00, so John Smith is JSMIT00@ricevm1.rice.edu. Here's a small list of machines to try when searching for a user. Department machines are generally for MS/PhD graduate students, faculty, and staff. The OWLNET machines are used for classes. (Thus the user population on OWLNET machines consists primarily of undergraduates and graduate students in professional degree plans such as Master of Computer Science.) All the names given should have ".rice.edu" appended to them. Department Machine Names ========================================== ========================== Computer Science: titan, iapetus Electrical and Computer Engineering: mu, zeta, eta, kappa, tavi Geophysics: geophysics, hercule, typhoon Math: math1 Mathematical Sciences: masc1, masc6 Mechanical Engineering: caesar Office of Networking and Computer Systems: brazos, rio-grande RAVL (Rice Advanced Visualization Lab): comet, spanish, saffron RUF (Rice Unix Facility): kennel Space Physics and Astronomy spacsun (ID usually initials) spacvax (ID usually lastname) Statistics: stat1 Rensselaer Polytechnic Inst. (RPI): Department Machine or Domain Names ========================================== ========================== Computer Science: cs.rpi.edu Electrical and Computer Engineering: ecse.rpi.edu Mechanical Engineering: meche.rpi.edu Design Reseach Center: rdrc.rpi.edu Robotics Automation Lab: ral.rpi.edu Image Processing Lab: ipl.rpi.edu Center for Advanced Technology: cat.rpi.edu Integrated Electronic Arts Studio: iear.arts.rpi.edu Engineering Computing Services: vm.ecs.rpi.edu, vms.ecs.rpi.edu Rensselaer Computing System: rpi.edu Open to all students, faculty and staff. 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. Rutgers: Changed: Mon Feb 15 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. (Note that not all people with email addresses have put them 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) Math: gauss.rutgers.edu (undergrad), math.rutgers.edu (grad/fac), hilbert.rutgers.edu (fac), dimacs.rutgers.edu (fac) Engineering: pisces.rutgers.edu (ug), jove.rutgers.edu(g/fac), caip.rutgers.edu (g/fac) Student consultants: gandalf.rutgers.edu McCormick Hall residents: dorm.rutgers.edu Statistics: stat.rutgers.edu (fac) Physics: physics.rutgers.edu Systems Staff: klinzhai.rutgers.edu, cs.rutgers.edu, hardees.rutgers.edu, gandalf.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. 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: 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 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. 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) 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), bingvaxu (Unix), bingsuns (SunOS), bingvmb (IBM), or bingtjw (IBM). Older userids are of the form vyNNNN@bingvaxa, vuNNNN@bingvaxu, 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: All 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. CS: Usually, lastname@cs.swarthmore.edu Engineering: usually lastname@engin.swarthmore.edu [The following is the old info, which still holds for some people: All Students: xxxYY@swat.swarthmore.edu, where xxx is the student's initials, YY the year of graduation. In case of duplicates, extra "x" are added between the initials and year. If there are triplicates, they keep on adding x's. You can also use campus.swarthmore.edu (swarthmr.bitnet). If they have no middle name, use "_" instead of the middle initial. To find people, send mail to postmaster. Faculty and staff have usernames as their last names on campus.swarthmore.edu.] 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 Bitnet: username@alaska.bitnet Internet: username@acadO.alaska.edu Usernames are of the form CTFMLN where: C=Campus A is U of A Anchorage D is for Kodiak College F is for U of A Fairbanks I is for Kenai Peninsula College J is for U of A Southeast (in Juneau) K is for U of A Southeast (Ketchikan branch) P is for Mat-Su College (in Palmer) T is for U of A Southeast (Sitka branch) V is for Prince William Sound Community College (in Valdez) 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 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 (don't know C letters for them) 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. 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 University 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: Wed Mar 24 1993 Undergraduates in General: 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.) 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, 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. 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: Undergraduates: midway.uchicago.edu (formerly tank.uchicago.edu) (midway.uchicago.edu serves as a mail server for machines named quads.uchicago.edu and ellis.uchicago.edu. When midway refuses connections, finger at quad or ellis.) Grads and faculty may also be on quads and ellis. 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 Many researchers have 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. Univ. of Chile (Universidad de Chile) (in Santiago, Chile, South America): Mathematics and Physical Sciences Campus (includes engineering) 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: cipres.cec.uchile.cl (Sun 690MP) Professors, researchers, and research assistents: tamarugo.cec.uchile.cl (Sun 690MP) Computer Science (Departamento Ciencia de la Computacion) All Computer Science students and professors have an account on: dcc.uchile.cl (Sun 4/470) Professors, researchers, and grad students of Computer Science tortel.dcc.uchile.cl (Sun SS II) For more information access the gopher server (using normal gopher access or telnet/rlogin with login name "gopher") on tortel. Univ. of Colorado/Boulder: Changed: Tue Feb 23 1993 Finger name@colorado.edu, where name is lastname, firstname, or firstname-lastname. At the upper right of the directory information is a username and machine; their address is then username@machine.colorado.edu Telnet to directory.colorado.edu, using username "directory". This lets you access the online phonebook/email address book. Univ. of Connecticut: uconn.edu userid@nicky.uconn.edu CS Undergrads: ug1.eng1.uconn.edu CS Grads and Faculty: cse1.cse.uconn.edu CS Research and Grads: sparc0.brc.uconn.edu Univ. of Copenhagen (Dennmark): Created: Wed Mar 24 1993 Computer Science: @ling.cphling.dk Entries beginning with Univ. of D may be found in the next posting (file .../college-email/faq3.text via anonymous FTP). ;;; *EOF* -- Software Technology Laboratory dalamb@qucis.queensu.ca (David Alex Lamb) Computing and Information Science phone: (613) 545-6067 Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada K7L 3N6 |
