As a guest, you +should avoid making yourself unliked. Unlikedness can be accomplished by +harassing other users, trashing other people's files, sending offensive +system mail,... that sort of thing. ITS has basically no security, which +means you can read anything, delete any file, poke into other people's +personal stuff. ITS users are expected to act maturely and show restraint +about such activity; no security makes for a great research environment, +but think how you'd feel if someone broadcast information that you wanted +to keep a little private. Errors in this area will get you warned or +yelled at, depending on who notices; repeated errors will get your account +flushed. + +You are in the TURIST user group for PWORD (which is a completely different +part of the world from what your INQUIR entry says). This means you won't +be allowed to use AI during the day or to use its 2 dialups. If you think +you need these privileges, send mail to USER-A@AI (each ITS has its own +USER-A group) explaining why. + +Access to AI: Just because we grant your account request does not guarantee +that you can reach AI to use that account. How you reach AI is up to you; +respect for legalities and for the customs at whatever site you might be +coming from is recommended. If you can't get net access at your site, +we're sorry, but it isn't within our sphere to assist you. If you have a +really amazingly worthy reason that we should assist you in coming over the +net (helping you get net privileges at your local site, or get a TAC +account), you can send same to USER-A, but don't expect much. + +Correspondingly, accounts are not granted for the purpose of "net-hopping" +(the practice of logging into AI so you can then SUPDUP or TELNET to some +other host, such as OZ). Net-hoppers may expect to have their accounts +flushed. + +The command :LOADP will give you some idea of the system load. This rises +during fairly obvious periods like the ends of terms; you should be +especially sensitive to system load then, and if things get bad, you should +log out and go away until later. Also you should log out if an official +user (AI Lab members and certain others) asks you to. Generally, someone +who asks you this will give you a chance to clean up and will explain why +you should go away; if you don't take advantage of the delay to write out +your buffers and such, you may find yourself summarily logged out. If you +think you have been treated unfairly (in this sort of case, or any other +relating to your use of AI) your sole board of appeal is USER-A. + +Disk space and directory size on ITS is limited. Since ITS does not +require a separate directory for each user, most guests share a number of +guest directories. The users of each dir are expected to manage their own +space (you'll know when you hit the upper limit -- all of a sudden files +will refuse to be saved); for the USERSx and GUESTx dirs this mostly means +you should clean up after yourself and not keep 500 blocks of old mail. If +you think you need more space, you can explain to USER-A what wonderful +purpose will be served by giving you a personal dir. + +You should keep your INQUIR entry up to date. The :INFO program is a good +way to learn more about ITS; it includes a self-tutorial and a new-user +section. If you run into trouble, the :LUSER command will try to find help +for you. However, don't run it repeatedly -- once, and then if you get no +response in several minutes, once more, is enough. The folks contacted by +:LUSER are knowledgeable volunteers; if they don't respond, either none of +them is logged in, or none of them can spare the time, and running :LUSER +every five minutes will only antagonize them.
