Accounts on netsoc machines:
Old accounts
Existing members will have to renew their accounts as in previous years by rejoining the society. All existing websites will be suspended on the last day of freshers week, and members wishing for their website to remain available will have to rejoin the society and agree to the MWAUP described below.
New accounts
Non-website:
To obtain a working shell account on Matrix, members must:
- Agree to comply with the MAUP by manually type 'yes' when first loging onto the matrix server using a shell account. Until they type yes to the question 'Have you read, and do you agree to comply with the terms of the MAUP [url]' (which will be logged), their account will not be enabled. At this point, members do NOT have access to create a publicly viewable website.
Website:
In order to have the 'www' directory enabled on a matrix account members must allready have an account on the server. Then they must request to have the 'www' directory enabled. To do this there will be a request website script, which will prompt the user (as above) to agree to a second AUP -- the Matrix website AUP. Upon agreeing with the terms & conditions outlined in the document, a mail will be sent to a systems administrator & they will enable the www directory. (All material in the www directory of enabled website accounts will be viewable both inside & outside of the college).
Discipline:
Action taken upon receipt of complaint regarding a website, or discovery by a committee member of material deemed inappropriate on a website:
- Website will immediately be reviewed by a systems administrator, and if a valid complaint -- both the website & the members account will be suspended pending review by the entire Netsoc committee.
- Serious offences will be reported to the Junior dean.
