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.

San Francisco State University: Created: Tue Apr 6 1993
Domain: sfsu.edu
Santa Clara University:
Students and faculty with accounts there, at least in some cases, may
be reached as FLLLLLLL@scuacc.scu.edu, where FLLLLLLLL is the first
initial and LLLLLLL is the last name (or perhaps the first n
characters of the last name).
The IP address for SCUACC.SCU.EDU is 129.210.8.1.
You might want to contact the postmaster there for further
information. The telephone number for the Acedemic Computer Center
is 408/554-4082
Scripps College (Claremont, CA): Changed: Sat Jul 3 1993
Finger flllllll@grover.claremont.edu.
Mail to: flast@scripps.claremont.edu (Novell network)
Finger at: charon.claremont.edu (Charon mail server)
Charon knows nothing about users unless they're logged in (and crashes
regularly).
Seattle Pacific University: Created: Fri Oct 8 1993
@spu.edu
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):
zipcode: 12866. phone: (518) 584-5000.
All e-mail is collected by scott.skidmore.edu.
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: Sun Mar 20 1994
Usernames are flllllll (or fmllllll to prevent duplicate names).
Most accounts are on VMS at smith.smith.edu. Some, mostly computer
science, are on UNIX at sophia.smith.edu, where fingering works (but
talk has been disabled).
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)
St. John's University (Collegeville, MN): Changed: Tue Jan 4 1994
Same domain as College of St. Benedict (St. Joseph, MN)
Students: fmllllllllll@csbsju.edu
Faculty: flllllllllll@csbsju.edu
St. John's University (New York, NY): Created: Thu Apr 6 1995
World-Wide Web service at <URL:http://www.stjohns.edu>.
Gopher service at <URL:gopher://stjohns.edu>.
St. John's University (Santa Fe, NM): Created: Thu Apr 6 1995
Domain stjohns-nm.edu. There is no reliable system for finding
addresses because students are free to choose their own codeword as
a name. Often it consists of their first initial and last name, but
not always.
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 service at
<URL:gopher://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.
Stanford: Changed: Wed Nov 9 1994
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 flastname 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
only matches exact usernames. Its various clients are slow but
match more: 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
Stevens Institute of Technology (Hoboken, NJ, USA): Created: Mon Jul 5 1993
Send mail to username@SITVAX.STEVENS-TECH.EDU, where username is of
the form "first initial lastname" truncated to 8 characters, with a
uniqueness number. For example, John Smith would have the username
JSMITH, but Jane Smith (who's account was added after John's) would
have JSMITH1.
We hope to add a Campus Information Server in Fall'93 to make it
easier to find people. This record will be updated when that
occurs.
SUNY/Albany: Created: Mon Aug 23 1993
Students: flnnnn@albnyvms.bitnet (VAX cluster) or @albnyvm1 (IBM
system) where nnnn is last 4 digits of social security number.
SUNY/Alfred (Alfred, NY):
(SUNY College of Technology at Alfred)
Students and faculty: llllllfm@snyalfva.cc.alfredtech.edu (lastname,
firstname, middlename, though middle name sometimes isn't used).
SUNY/Binghamton: (Binghamton, NY): Changed: Wed Nov 9 1994
In order to contact someone at SUNY-Binghamton you'll have to give
them a call; there is no way of figuring out a student's address
given their name, as the mapping is random (sequential in the order
people apply for accounts).
Undergrads: bXNNNNN@HOSTNAME.cc.binghamton.edu where X is a letter
depending on what year they got their account: 91/92: A 92/93: B(?);
NNNNN are random digits, almost always starting with 0; HOSTNAME is
either bingvaxa (VMS), bingsuns (SunOS), bingvmb (IBM), or bingtjw
(IBM). Older userids are of the form vyNNNN@bingvaxa, and
bgNNNN@bingvmb.
Interested undergrads tend to have accounts on bingvaxa, though those
in Math/CS classes will have accounts on bingsuns.
N.B.: since about November 1993 the following doesn't seem to work.
An e-mail directory for some faculty and staff is supposed to be
available;
telnet to bingvmb.cc.binghamton.edu
DIAL VTAM
ELIXIR
Choose from menu.
SUNY/Buffalo: Changed: Tue Feb 21 1995
Finger name@ubvms.cc.buffalo.edu, where name is userid or lastname or
firstname; you'll get a list of possible matches if there is more
than one.
Grads, Undergrads: username@ubvms.cc.buffalo.edu. 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/New Paltz: Created: Mon Feb 20 1995
Domain is newpaltz.edu, but they don't allow finger access from off
campus.
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
Swarthmore: Changed: Tue Aug 3 1993
Most Students/Faculty/Staff: FLLLLLLN@cc.swarthmore.edu, where F is
the user's first initial, and LLLLLL is the first six letters of
their last name. A '1' (one) is appended in most cases, though for
duplicates the number is incremented. To find people, send mail to
postmaster. You can also finger people by their last name.
As of fall 1993: some students may be reached at
lastname@sccs.swarthmore.edu
Computing Centre staff: usually lastname@cc.swarthmore.edu
CS: Usually, lastname@cs.swarthmore.edu
Engineering: usually lastname@engin.swarthmore.edu
Syracuse University:
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.
Tampere University of Technology (Tampere, Finland): Created: Mon Sep 6 1993
Host: tut.fi. Finger available.
Texas A&M University:
All students can have an account on a VAX cluster, a heterogeneous set
of UNIX boxes, or a VM/CMS machine. Probably less than 30% of the
student body (40K students) takes advantage of this. The format of
the usernames is FML#### where fml are the initials and #### is the
last four digits of the SSN. If a student has no middle initial
then '0' (Zero) is used. These domain is "tamu.edu" and the machine
could be any of several choices like venus, rigel, summa, sigma,
etc.
General Unix: tamuts.tamu.edu, tamaix.tamu.edu, tamsun.tamu.edu
General VAX/VMS: zeus.tamu.edu, venus.tamu.edu, summa.tamu.edu,
sigma.tamu.edu, rigel.tamu.edu
General VM/CMS: tamvm1.tamu.edu
Finding addresses: Try fingering lastname@tamsun.tamu.edu or
lastname@tamu.edu. (tamu.edu uses ph, the CSO Nameserver)
The computer science department's domain is "cs.tamu.edu". The
statistics dept is "stat.tamu.edu". The username format on these
machines is usually fffffffl or flllllll. Some old accounts may
have first names or last names only.
The math department's domain is math.tamu.edu.
There are about a million other departmental machines with varying
names but I believe they are all in the form "xxx.tamu.edu".
Trinity College (Hartford CT):
Students, staff, and faculty: firstname.lastname@mail.trincoll.edu
mail.trincoll.edu is currently equivalent to trincoll.edu
Tufts University:
tufts.edu, tufts.bitnet
Union College (Schenectady, NY): Created: Wed Nov 9 1994
llllllf@unvax.union.edu
United States Air Force Academy: Changed: Sat Apr 8 1995
World-Wide Web service at <URL:http://http://www.usafa.af.mil/>.
Gopher service at <URL:gopher://gopher.usafa.af.mil>.
Cadets: you must know the cadet's last name, first and middle
initials, class year, and cadet squadron. For example, John Ivan
Smith, class year 96, squadron CS-17, gives
SmithJI96%CS17%USAFA@cadetmail2.usafa.af.mil
Instructors and faculty: class year is not applicable, and squadron is
replaced with the department they work in. All academic departments
are preceded by DF and then the department's abbreviation is placed.
The cadetmail2 is also dropped. For example, an instructor, Smith,
J I who works in the English department, would be denoted
as: SmithJI%DFENG%USAFA@usafa.af.mil
Computer science: host kirk.usafa.af.mil. Finger works.
Universite Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris VI, Paris, France): Created: Wed Nov 9 1994
Faculty and staff only. Computer architecture department:
lastname@masi.ibp.fr
University of Aalborg (Dennmark):
@iesd.auc.dk
University of Aarhus (Dennmark): Created: Wed Mar 24 1993
Computer Science: @daimi.aau.dk
University 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.
University 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
University 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
University 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.
University 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.
University of Atlanta:
@auc.UUCP
University 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.
University of California/Berkeley: Changed: Tue Nov 15 1994
World-Wide Web service at <URL:http://server.berkeley.edu>.
Whois: whois.berkeley.edu. Gopher service at
<URL:gopher://gopher.berkeley.edu> and infocal.berkeley.edu.
Undergraduates, faculty, staff, and graduate students: uclink or ocf
(all .berkeley.edu). Finger on uclink also finds uclink2 and
uclink3 addresses.
CS and EECS undergraduates: cory.EECS.berkeley.edu. soda.CSUA,
ucsee.eecs, and hkn.eecs are run by students (CS Undergrad
Association, UC Society of EEs, and Eta Kappa Nu, respectively).
First Year Graduate CS students: try cory.EECS.berkeley.edu or
xcssun.cs.berkeley.edu. antipodes.cs.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
Many csgrads will have mail aliases on cs.berkeley.edu, which supports
finger. Systems to try for grad students are (all
.cs.berkeley.edu): sprite, harmony, sequoia, yew, larch, robotics,
postgres, and ginger.
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. Danube, congo, po, and volga and a cluster of
stars (named after stars) (all in the .EECS.berkeley.edu domain),
and web and buddy are used for the first 3 semesters of CS classes.
haas is 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 Undergraduate Interdisciplinary Studies), and accounts
are available to any Social Sciences major by permission of their
advisor. Account names are 193xxx, where xxx is the last name of
the user.
Math (Graduate and Faculty): math.berkeley.edu
Physics Grads and Undergrads: physics.berkeley.edu
Mech. E Profs & Grads: euler.berkeley.edu, tycho.berkeley.edu,
erastosthenes.berkeley.edu
Public Cluster (some undergrads): ocf.berkeley.edu
School of Education: soe.berkeley.edu, ced.berkeley.edu
College of Natural Resources: nature.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.
Also, people can look for staff people on whois.berkeley.edu.
postmaster@nic.berkeley.edu should be considered as a last choice when
looking from someone electronically.
University of California/Davis: Changed: Thu Nov 10 1994
whois -h ucdavis.edu <name>

CS: First.Last@cs.ucdavis.edu
Engineering/CS: First.Last@ee.ucdavis.edu or
First.Last@eecs.ucdavis.edu
othello and bullwinkle.ucdavis.edu are for general use. Userids are
ez0xxxxx, where xxxxx is a 5 digit assigned number.
University 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.
University 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).
University 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). There are many other
subdomains for other subjects (math, cs, ee, etc.).
Many, many other machines house course, faculty, staff, and research
accounts. Your best bet is to look the name up at ucsd.edu.
University 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.
University of Central Florida (Orlando):
CS dept: only grad students are given accounts. finger

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

University of Delaware: Changed: Wed Nov 9 1994
All undergraduate students, graduate students and faculty have
accounts on the university system at strauss.udel.edu. Also there
are bach, brahms, and chopin{.udel.edu}.
The login name is a random 5-digit number until the user changes it,
then it is whatever the user picks. Fingering last names will work
to find the login name, but since there are thousands of accounts,
it may produce an overload of information.
Faculty are best reached at Firstname.Lastname@mvs.udel.edu, though
some have accounts on the "composers" machines.
The College of Marine Studies maintains a computer system. Students
and faculty have accounts with login names of their choosing on
several computers, such as earthview.cms.udel.edu
mingming.cms.udel.edu chester.cms.udel.edu
There are several other sparcstations around but they share accounts
with the ones named above.

University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign: Changed: Wed Mar 24 1993
In general, finger name@uiuc.edu, where name can be firstname,
lastname, or firstname-lastname. Also try
whois -h uiuc.edu <names>
CS: try mail to lastname@cs.uiuc.edu or flastname@cs.uiuc.edu
Campus: try f-lastname@uiuc.edu and firstname-lastname@uiuc.edu. It
is usually possible to send mail to f-lastname@uiuc.edu or
firstname-lastname@uiuc.edu. If that fails, you will get a message
which tells you why the email could not be sent.
Student Accounts: As of Fall 1992: ux4.cso.uicc.edu (those entering
before then have accounts on uxa.cso.uiuc.edu) Every freshman gets
an account on this machine. Usernames are usually flastname (old
accounts were the user's three initials, followed by five random
characters.)
Math (Grads, Faculty, Staff): lastname@math.uiuc.edu
Classes: ux1.cso.uiuc.edu, hendrix.ece.uiuc.edu (Purely instructional.
1 semester accounts on this machine.)

University of Kuopio (Kuopio, Finland): Created: Mon Sep 6 1993
uku.fi
University of Louisville (Louisville, KY): Changed: Tue Nov 8 1994
The whois server at the University of Kentucky maintains data for U of
L also.
Every staff and faculty member has an account on
ulkyvm.louisville.edu, but this machine refuses finger requests, as
does ulkyvx.louisville.edu, the main name server.
The Speed Scientific School operates starbase.spd.louisville.edu,
which does accept finger. Most students and many professors in the
six engineering departments of Speed Scientific School have accounts
on starbase cluster.
User ids on all the machines are exactly 8 characters: FMLastNN, where
0 is used for missing middle initials, lastnames are truncated to 4
characters or padded with 0 if shorter, and NN is used to resolve
conflicts (starting with 01).
University of Maine:

Dept. of Electrical & Computer Engineering: UserId@ee.umanitoba.ca
All other depts and undergraduate students: UserId@cc.umanitoba.ca
University of Maryland/College Park: Changed: Mon Sep 6 1993
U.Md. has several campuses, but we currently have information only for
the College Park campus.
Employees (faculty and staff): Finger name@umail.umd.edu. Names are
usually flnumber or firstname_MI_LASTNAME (e.g. dm17 or
David_L_MATTHEWS)
All students (grad and undergrad) may request an account on
wam.umd.edu (Workstations At Maryland). All undergrads (and
probably graduate students too) may request accounts on eng.umd.edu;
most engineering graduate students have accounts there, but so do
non-engineering studentss. Finger using the lastname at these hosts.
CS Faculty/Staff/Graduate Students: cs.umd.edu; sometimes
umiacs.umd.edu or cfar.umd.edu
telnet umail.umd.edu and login as lookup for faculty/staff E-mail
directory. Campus has universal faculty/staff E-mail on
info.umd.edu (aka umail.umd.edu). Whois and finger do not work off
campus for this computer, though. If you know the name, try
firstname_mi_lastname@umail.umd.edu.
University of Massachusetts/Amherst: Changed: Tue Jun 29 1993
Students/Faculty: first.{mi.}last@student.umass.edu (This is on the
CDC Cyber NOS/VE system.) Another common format is
first.{mi.}last@saturn.ucc.umass.edu. Saturn is the name of the
computer. Many people, especially faculty, have a departmental
abbreviation in place of "student" or "saturn.ucc". Another
possible form is FML@titan.ucs.umass.edu
Graduate CS students: cs.umass.edu Username is person's lastname.
Intro CS courses: S#######@tethys.ucc.umass.edu, where ####### is a
7-digit student number.
Engineering: {fi}lastname@ecs.umass.edu. Names defaults to last name,
but may include the first initial if the last name is not unique.
Student directory service: (413)-545-1515 for finding a phone number.
University of Massachusetts/Lowell:
All CS students and University UNIX users are generally addressable as
flllllll@cs.ulowell.edu. Adjustments are made for conflicts such as
adding the middle initial after the first, or adding additional
letters from the first name.
Not all students automatically get accounts on the VMS system, but if
they do they can be addressed as llllllf@woods.ulowell.edu. Finger
works on this machine, but isn't very informative. If there is a
name conflict, they will add letters from the first name or numeric
digits (1, 2, etc.) until it is unique.
University of Miami: Created: Mon Sep 6 1993
Rosentiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences:

University of Michigan: Changed: Sat Mar 25 1995
World-Wide Web service at <URL:http://www.umich.edu>.
The best place to try to find an e-mail address for a faculty,
students, and staff at U-M is via the X.500 White Pages service.
There are many ways in which this can be accessed, but one easy way
is through finger (finger firstname.lastname@umich.edu). (The X.500
Directory also contains business addresses, business phone numbers,
titles, and home addresses and phone numbers in the case where the
person has granted such permission.) If the person has registered
an e-mail address, it will appear; if the person has not, follow the
advice of the X.500 server and try fingering the person at
um.cc.umich.edu (the mainframe), caen.engin.umich.edu (the College
of Engineering mail hub), or med.umich.edu (the Medical Campus mail
hub).
People with accounts on um.cc.umich.edu also have a Bitnet address:
USERxxx@UMICHUM.BITNET where 'xxxx' is the person's account on the
mainframe.
A database of U of Michigan student and faculty phone numbers and
addresses (not email addresses, just phones) is available through
the Gopher service at <URL:gopher://gopher.uis.itd.umich.edu>, also
available via telnet to gopher.micro.umn.edu (login: gopher) in the
"Other gophers" menu or the "phone books" menu. This gopher phone
number database has been changed to access X.500.
Grad students in EECS get accounts on eecs.umich.edu. (The specific
machine names are dip and zip, but eecs forwards appropriately.)
Usernames are either lastname, or of the form Fname_Lname.
313- ann arbor info 764-1817 998-7999
If all else fails, you can always mail the request to the U-M
postmaster at postmaster@umich.edu.
Alternately, to get finger information for NAME:
telnet to 35.1.48.149 35.1.48.150 or hermes.merit.edu
press return until you get a "Which Host?" prompt
type FINGER UM <return> NAME <return>
University of Minnesota: Changed: Fri Nov 25 1994
In general, try fingering fname.mname.lname@umn.edu. Fingering any
reasonable fragment of the name should work.
CS Grad students: @cs.umn.edu. General policy is "last name as
account name, plus first and middle initials if that's not unique",
but there *are* exceptions.
Undergrads in technical majors will have temporary accounts on
maroon.tc.umn.edu or vx.cis.umn.edu. The account names are
serialized so aren't useful in finding out names. Recently (as of
late 1992) most class accounts are on mermaid.micro.umn.edu, and are
named. All Twin Cities campus students have e-mail on
gold.tc.umn.edu, whether they know it or not.
Chemistry (faculty, staff, grads): lname@chemsun.chem.umn.edu. The
login is usually the person's last name.
Statistics: umnstat.stat.umn.edu. Userid varies; use finger.
Biochemistry & genetics: often molbio.cbs.umn.edu or lenti.med.umn.edu
UMN Morris: Logins are in the form llllllfm@cab.mrs.umn.edu. Finger
first or last name.
