Account Status

Who may use the Login Pool

Use of these machines is restricted to people who have a subscription to the UMCE Login Service. Most students, faculty, and staff will have a subscription automatically. You can contact the ITCS Accounts Office if you need to get a subscription, or if you are not sure whether you have a subscription. If you know your Uniqame and U-M Kerberos password, this information is also accessible via the Web at http://www.umce.itd.umich.edu/ under the Account Info heading.

What you can do

Please note: The University's Proper Use Policy and Guidelines for Responsible Use apply to all ITCS resources. You should review these documents, and direct questions about such to the ITCS User Advocate.

The Login machines are configured primarily for interactive use. If you are eligible to use the service, you may use the Login machines to run

• Interactive programs, such as pine, vi, tin
• Compilers such as cc and gcc, and other programming and debugging tools.
• Programs to connect to other services, such as ssh.
• Small programs that do not interfere with other applications running on the ITCS Login Service.

The ITCS system administrators reserve the right to stop any job that is using too much of the computer's resources. Examples include:

• A program taking longer than 10 minutes to produce a result
• A program that is still running after you have logged out.
• A program having an adverse affect or impact on other users or the performance of the machine.

ITCS system administrators reserve the right to

• Remove any files or data left in either the /tmp or /var/tmp directory.
• Stop any program running on a Login machine that provides services to unauthorized users.

It is specifically forbidden to run programs which

• Attempt to elevate a user's priviledges on the host machine in an unauthorized manner.
• Attack other machines connected to the Internet, in either a denial-of-service or an elevating-priviledges sense.
• Send large numbers of unsolicited email messages. (No spamming.)
• Donate U-M processor time to non-affiliated groups (No distributed.net or SETI@home clients)
