- 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
- Computer Science: @cs.sfu.ca
- Campus Wide: @sfu.ca
-
- 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: 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:
- Undergrads: Most students have accounts on leland.stanford.edu
- Some students have accounts on popserver, which is dedicated
- to email. Their usernames can be fingered at angelo.stanford.edu.
- Your best bet is to finger using the person's last name, as
- students may choose any username. (Leland is not fingerable.)
-
- [The following service has not yet been implemented at
- Stanford, as of 10-23-91. --mark
- You can also try fingering fmllllll@stanford.edu. This uses
- the whois server on argus.stanford.edu. (Also try flllll or
- llllll, depending on how common the name is.) This info isn't
- updated as often as it should be; students (including
- undergrads) can update their own email addresses, but few know
- how to or care. ]
-
- To use finger service at Stanford, you must already know a person's
- e-mail address. To find out someone's e-mail address, use whois
- service. Issue the command
- > whois -h stanford.edu <last_name, full_name, unique_id,
- telephone_number, or e-mail_address if
- you know that but want other info.>
-
-
- 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/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
-
- [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: VAX1.TRINCOLL.EDU (trincc.vax.bitnet)
- Ths is a VMS machine, but it supports finger.
-
- Tufts University:
- tufts.edu, tufts.bitnet
-
- Univ. of Aalborg: @iesd.auc.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:
-
- All students can now have internet accounts, usually of the form
- LASTF@gas.uug.arizona.edu, where LAST is first 7 characters of last
- name and F is first initial. Undergraduates used to get
- single-semester accounts on the cluster ccit.arizona.edu for a
- specific class, with usernames in the format Lxxxxyyyy, where L= first
- letter of last name, xxxx = last four digits of student ID number
- (usually SSN), and yyyy = last four digits of course sequence number
-
- Ccit.arizona.edu serves all those who don't have their own computers,
- which is almost everyone. If you're looking for someone who's an
- undergrad, send polite mail to postmaster@ccit.arizona.edu. You MUST
- know their first and last names, the college they're in, and whether
- they're a grad or undergrad. They forward that message to the
- customer accounts office, which calls the user, and asks if it's ok to
- give out their username. So using the phone is better.
-
- Many faculty and staff are also 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; ask root.
- Undergrads in Engineering are on a cluster of Suns; ask
- system@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 (i.e.,
- RReagan) @mis.arizona.edu with very good success.
-
- 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. However,
- postmaster@Arizona.EDU is an unusually helpful person, and extremely
- polite mail sent to him may result in an answer.
-
- 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: Many different accounts on many machines.
- 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
-
- 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
