Use of AI
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Use of ITSs which are not MC (for MC, see the file ACOUNT;TURIST POLICY
|
||||||
|
there) is predicated on consideration and common sense. 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.
