Re: ANON: Sysadmin Policies at Universities (and HS)
From babani@cs.buffalo.edu Fri Mar 5 13:56:06 1993 Here is the responce I got as to WHY I CANT RUN A REMAILER IN MY ACCOUNT... Why do you continue to think it's "your" account? If you want to have such a thing to call "your account" you're welcome to plunk down some $$$, buy a machine, get yerself a network link, and remail to your heart's content. If I were another CS student at UB, I would be bummed if the scarce (by your account, and by most others at universities) cycles I needed to get my homework done were being given away to folks all over the world via a remailer. That's all those machines need is more sendmail processes running :-) /jordan

Well, "the" account has "my" name stamped all over it. With a few resstrictions... I have full use of the account. But that's not proof. Here's proof... quoting from UB's own computing policy ... (which I am now THOUROULY familiar with! :-> )
acquiring an account in another person's name, or using an account without the explicit permission of the owner and the full knowledge of Academic ^^^^^ ...
It is mandatory that the owner of an account be careful to keep the
^^^^^
account secure by keeping the password secret, changing the password ...
Even the policy seems to agree that someone is an "owner" of a given account. It doesn't mention that ACS (Academic Computing Services) is the "owner" of the account.
