Revision as of 13:14, 6 July 2011

Rules for use of sekhmet, the LUG shell server:

Your initial password will be set to expire immediately on first login, use a decent password for this account.
Follow all MTU Computer (and Network) Use Policies -- if it is against the school rules, do not do it.
Do not piss off the server admin -- admins are our friends.
Be courteous with use -- high-resource use is OK, but moderate it so others get a share.
Keep only volatile data on sekhmet -- no backups are made, and data may be lost at any time.
Keep your home directory tidy -- a 36GB drive is dedicated to /home, and quotas will be instated if needed.
Use /scratch for large, volatile data.
Compiling stuff for your own use is OK, but it is better if we can get it from a repo -- if you want software installed, ask an admin.
If using IRSSI or other IRC client on sekhmet, please be courteous and make use of /away statuses rather than nick changes to indicate short periods of inactivity. In this instance, short is any period shorter than a week.
