The computing facilities of Eastern Illinois University are intended
solely for use by authorized students, faculty, and staff in
connection with instruction, research, and public service activities.

Each such person shall not use said facilities for financial gain or
any profit-making or commercial activity, for any activity which is
illegal under federal or state law (including, but not limited to
participation in chain letters or the unauthorized copying of
copyrighted and other proprietary software), for any activity that
would violate the integrity of the system, or for any activity which
is obscence or defamatory.

Any person who used the computing facilities of Eastern Illinois
University in violation of the foregoing conditions may have his/her
use suspended.

Each person who used the computing facilities of Eastern Illinois
University thereby agrees that his/her continued use of said
facilities shall be conditioned upon use of said facilities in
            accordance with the foregoing policy. CORNELL

        Policy for the Use of the Research Computing Facility

1.  The computing facility is intended to support computer science
    research and education as directed by members of the faculty and
    research staff of the Computer Science Department.  Use of the
    facility is permitted only for this purpose.

2.  The only people authorized to use the computing facility are
    those who have been issued accounts.  Only the individual who is
    given an account may use that account.  He or she is not
    authorized to allow anyone else to use his or her account.
    Accounts are normally given only to Computer Science faculty
    members, graduate students, staff members, and visiting
    researchers.

3.  Even those who have legitimate accounts should be aware that,
    except with prior approval, those accounts should only be used
    for research or, as discussed below, coursework being directed by
    the faculty or research staff of the Computer Science Department.
    The writing of research-related books, theses, and reports and
    the exchange of computer mail are considered acceptable research
    use.

4.  Generally, the only machines that should be used for coursework
    are those workstations located in student offices or the SUN
    graduate student laboratory.  Machines that were purchased solely
    for research use, including all the Symbolics and all the VAXes,
    should not be used for coursework.  Faculty should only make
    assignments for projects that can be done entirely on SUN
    workstations.

5.  The computing facility is shared among many groups and
    individuals within the department.  Although there are no
    automatic limits on the use of system resources, each user is
    expected to plan his work so that other users are not adversely
    affected.

6.  The "public" terminal and printer areas are restricted to those
    who have legitimate business in these areas.  Most have
    combination locks; only those who have legitimate accounts should
    be told this combination.

7.  Confidential material is maintained on the systems.  Any attempts
    by unauthorized individuals to "browse" through private computer
    files, decrypt encrypted material, or obtain user privileges to
    which they are not entitled will be regarded as a very serious
    offense.  Any of these actions will result in loss of all
    computer privileges, and may, for student users, result in
    expulsion from the graduate program.

8.  Various computing resources have special restrictions on their
    usage.  In general, the gvax and svax systems are available for
    general use, with svax being primarily for student use, and gvax
    being primarily for faculty and staff use.  Workstations in
    individual offices are typically private.  Other workstations will
    have signs posted on them to identify their status.  There are four
    classes of machines (based on the type of sign):

             "CSD - General Use" - for either coursework or research
             "CSD - General Research" - any research use
             "CSD - <project name>" - preference is given to use by
    the project
             "Project - <project name>" - absolute priority is given
    to use by the project

Most timeshared machines are dedicated to research project use.
Students should only use these machines if they are associated with
an appropriate project.
