This is the second third of the summary of how to find email addresses
for undergraduate and graduate students, faculty and staff at various
colleges and universities.
;;; ********************************
;;; Email Database: N-T, U to Univ of
;;; ********************************
New Jersey Institute of Technology:
Newark NJ 07021
CS PhD Studs: user@newark.njit.edu
Grad Studs: user@hertz.njit.edu (ultrix), user@tesla.njit.edu (vms)
New Mexico Institute Of Mining And Technology:
Try finger name@nmt.edu or finger name@jupiter.nmt.edu. Jupiter is
the main server; CS students generally have accounts on
minos.nmt.edu. Accounts generally seem to be of the form FLLLLLLL.
New Mexico State Univ.:
Virtually all email addresses are of the form fllllll@nmsu.edu. Finger
is not well supported. Mail to postmaster should help. (Also, if you
have an account, there is a postmaster program.)
New York University (NYU)
Addresses for students at NYU are fml####@acfcluster.nyu.edu, where f,
m, l are first, middle, last initials and #### are the last four
digits of the social security number. All students and staff can get
limited mail accounts by requesting them. Some users have nicknames:
lastname, or lllllf, or lllllff.
North Carolina State University (Raleigh, NC) Changed: Mon Jul 5 1993
Whois server on gyro.cc.ncsu.edu also accepts requests via finger.
All whois entries have Snail addresses, some have e-mail.
Faculty/Staff: accounts on adm.csc.ncsu.edu. No specific naming
convention for faculty accounts.
Graduate Students: accounts on druid.csc.ncsu.edu. login names are
gr-xxx where xxx are the initials of the person. However, using the
person first or last name will also work.
All engineers have accounts on eos.ncsu.edu
Most undergraduate id's are fmllllll@eos.ncsu.edu
College of textiles comp. center: fmllllll@unity.ncsu.edu
North Dakota Network
This section describes how to find email addresses for students who
attend Public Colleges and Universities in North Dakota.
ND HECN PLAINS (@plains.bitnet) -or- (@plains.nodak.edu)
This is a Unix system. All userids are given out according to last
name or possibly a first initial added in front. You are able to
finger these accounts.
ND HECN CMS (@ndsuvm1.bitnet) -or- (@vm1.nodak.edu)
This is a VM/SP (CMS) system. Userids are a bit more complicated here...
The ND HECN (No-Dak Higher Education Computer Network) consists of the
following schools.. Their 2-letter school code follows.
Bismarck State College (BJ) North Dakota State University (NU)
University of North Dakota (UD) Dickinson State College (DS)
Williston State College (WS) Bottineau State College (BT)
Lake Region Community College (LR) Valley City State College (VC)
Mayville State College (MV) Minot State College (MN)
State School of Science (SS)
Userids given out prior to (approximately) August 1991 are assigned a
userid according to the following: Userids are in the form of
LL######. LL is the "School Code" (see above). The #'s are the first
6 digits of the user's NAID number.
Userids given out after August 1991 are assigned according to last
name, or with part of their first name in front if the account is
already taken. They are trying to give you the same userid as your
plain's id (if you have one). Also, people with the 'old id' can
request to have their account renamed to the new format. You are able
to finger accounts on ndsuvm1, but as of 02-26-92 student names are
not yet available to finger. (It will tell you if the account at least
exists tho). Faculty/Staff names are available to finger. Each
college has an 'administrative' account with the form LL0ADMIN. (LL =
School Code). I don't know if they will give out userids, but it's
worth a try.
UND School of Medicine: try First.Last@medicine.und.nodak.edu for
staff and faculty; no student accounts as of Fall 1992. For help
finding someone, try 'finger' or contact
postmaster@medicine.und.nodak.edu
Northeastern: Changed: Mon Jul 5 1993
Finger name@lynx.dac.northeastern.edu where <name> is a first-name,
last-name, or username. All students, faculty, staff, and alumni
can have accounts, but they have to be requested.
Student usernames are usually flllllll, but many students pick there
own variations. Many students never log in again once their class
is through.
Northern Arizona University (Flagstaff, Arizona, USA)
You can use any of the following ways to locate people at Northern
Arizona University. If one doesn't work, try the next. NOTE: not
everyone at NAU has an electronic mailbox.
1. finger PERSON@info.nau.edu
where PERSON is any part of a person's name that you know. You may
have to use quotes, as in: finger "Jane Doe"@info.nau.edu. This is a
"white pages" style database. For more help on this system: finger
@info.nau.edu
2. mail FIRSTNAME.LASTNAME@nau.edu
where FIRSTNAME and LASTNAME are the person you're trying to reach.
You may need to specify FIRSTNAME.MIDDLEINITIAL.LASTNAME
3. send mail to the site postmaster: mail postmaster@nau.edu
Some subdomains have postmasters e.g. postmaster@cse.nau.edu for
the Computer Science and Engineering department.
Northern Illinois University (DeKalb, IL) Created: Mon Jul 5 1993
Encore MultiMax (mp.cs.niu.edu). CSCI students may have accounts on
this UNIX-based machine if their classes require it. Class accounts
are of the form 'T90nnnn' where 'nnnn' is a randomly-assigned
four-digit number. Undergraduate and graduate TA's may have
accounts of the form 'T90fml1', where f=first initial, m=middle
initial, and l=last initial. Substitute the letter 'X' for a
missing middle initial. Older TA's may have an '8' or '9'
substituted for the '1'. Students who work for Academic Computing
Services, or are of a major other than CSCI, may also have accounts.
Use 'finger' for more info.
CSCI LAN (csci.niu.edu) All CSCI faculty members and some graduate
students have accounts on this Novell LAN of the form 'T90fml1',
same as above.
Amdahl 5890 (vm.cso.niu.edu) CSCI students may have accounts on this
mainframe running MVS and VM if their classes require it. Class
accounts are of the form 'T90nnnn', same as above. All TA's have an
account of the form 'T90fml1'.
Northwestern: Changed: Sun Mar 20 1994
General e-mail services are shared by casbah.acns.nwu.edu and
merle.acns.nwu.edu. Merle is in full production as of the beginning
of 1993, although there are not yet that many accounts on it. This
will change. Both Casbah and Merle support finger requests.
If you have access to a PH electronic database client, you can use
ns.nwu.edu for a ph-nameserver. Users must personally register an
e-mail address in this database for a query to provide one -- it is
not done automatically. If you do not have access to a PH client,
the default PH-based address is <alias@nwu.edu> where the default
alias is f-lastname (first initial-last name). Many people choose
to remove the hyphen or replace the default alias with their
initials, or just about anything else. The default is a good thing
to try, because if it fails for any reason, PH responds with fairly
complete information, in plain english, including other possible
aliases, if there is a conflict.
Norwegian Institute of Technology: see University of Trondheim
Novosibirsk State Technical Univ.: Created: Mon Sep 6 1993
Russia, Novosibirsk 630092, K. Marx Prospekt 20
Usernames can be hard to discover; postmaster@nstu.nsk.su is willing
to be helpful in tracking usernames.
Oakland University (Rochester, MI) Changed: Thu Mar 25 1993
Hosts: vela.acs.oakland.edu, argo.acs.oakland.edu
Many departments maintain their own systems but their users usually
have accounts on either vela or argo as well.
Userids: Students: FMlastname Faculty: Lastname
Finger: on vela, use any portion of the name. On argo, you can only
finger the userid.
Oberlin (Oberlin, Ohio): Changed: Tue Mar 30 1993
Many students and faculty have accounts on ocvaxa, which can be
reached as ocvaxa.cc.oberlin.edu. Administrative staff members have
accounts on ocvaxc, which can be reached as ocvaxc.cc.oberlin.edu.
This is an internet-only site.
Student User IDs are of the form: S+first & last initials + last 4
digits of the student ID (e.g. SDG1234)
Faculty IDs are of the form: F + lastname.
Best bet is to send mail to postmaster@ocvaxa.cc.oberlin.edu
CS students/faculty: occs.cs.oberlin.edu (student usernames are mostly
last names, occasionally with a first initial to disambiguate;
faculty and staff are generally 3 initials).
You can also send mail to postmaster.
Ohio State University:
Faculty, Staff, Graduate students: flllllll@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu
CS Students, Faculty and Staff: cis.ohio-state.edu, with
username lastname, fllllll, llllll-f, fml, firstname or lllll-fm.
Faculty and staff are mostly first or last name.
Also, some students have their accounts aliased so that
you can send mail/finger to lastname.#@osu.edu
where # is required and is anything from 1 on up to infinity
(these numbers can get very large for names like Smith, i.e. in
the thousands). "whois -h osu.edu" and telneting to osu.edu should
also work.
Ohio University (Athens OH):
CS (UNIX): fllll@oucsace.cs.ohiou.edu
CS (VMS): oucsduce.cs.ohiou.edu
EE (grad students): fllll@bobcat.ent.ohiou.edu, @redskins.ent.ohiou.edu
Undergrads (class accounts): OUACCVMB.BITNET
Faculty: OUACCVMA.BITNET
Oklahoma State/Stillwater:
userid@rsc.ceat.okstate.edu
Oregon Graduate Institute of Science and Technology:
Only Graduate Students. Their host, ogccse, is @cse.ogc.edu.
This recently changed to cse.ogi.edu.
Oregon State:
CS: mist.cs.orst.edu, prism.cs.orst.edu
Oxford University (Oxford, England): Changed: Sat Mar 27 1993
Telnet to info.ox.ac.uk, which presents you with an online information
system, one of whose subsystems is an electronic mail directory
showing all authorized users who are willing to be so listed.
Host: vax.ox.ac.uk
Penn State Univ.: Changed: Wed Mar 24 1993
Domain: psu.edu
The Electronic Bulletin Board contains, among many other things, the
entire student, staff, and faculty directory. To use EBB, connect
to psuvm.psu.edu from an Internet-connected site using tn3270 (You
can also telnet to cac3270.psu.edu if you do not have a 3270
emulator, but will have to supply a terminal type). After the
initial logon screen appears, type the RETURN key and the screen
will clear. Type "ebb" and hit RETURN, and you will get the
top-level EBB menu, one item of which is "DIRECTORY". Typing "dir"
and RETURN will select the university directory. The rest should be
obvious, but for a couple of other points: EBB assumes you're using
an IBM terminal, and displays help in the form of PF keys to move
around, etc. A simple "+" serves to scroll ahead, and "-" moves
backward. Typing the RETURN key alone will back up one level of
menus, so typing RETURN repeatedly will ultimately close the
connection.
Computer Science: cs.psu.edu (UNIX), crayola.cs.psu.edu (Ultrix)
Math: math.psu.edu
Pitzer College: Created: Sat Jul 3 1993
finger flllllll@pitvax.claremont.edu
Plymouth State College (Plymouth NH) Created: Mon Sep 6 1993
Faculty & staff: firstname.lastname@plymouth.edu
or flllllll@psc.plymouth.edu or fffffffffl@psc.plymouth.edu
Students: finger firstname@oz.plymouth.edu or finger
lastname@oz.plymouth.edu

Legend: F = Fingerable X = Nonfingerable
W = At login: prompt typing in 'who' will list parties logged on
All system names end with ".poly.edu", e.g. 'finger @Poly-TS.poly.edu'
Most login names begin with first initial then first seven character
of last name. Most undergrad users would be on george, gracie,
ishara, tasha and worf systems.
Pomona College (Claremont, CA):
Internet: fllllll@pomona.claremont.edu (bitnet flllll@pomona.bitnet)
Usernames are the first character of the first name, followed
by the full last name (John Doe would be JDOE). In case of conflicts,
the middle initial is used between first and last name. (If JDOE
already has an account, James A. Doe would be JADOE). Finger works.
Portland State University (Portland, Oregon):
Students: odin.cc.pdx.edu
Princeton: Changed: Tue Jun 29 1993
Undergrads: phoenix.princeton.edu, pucc.princeton.edu (VM)
pucc.bitnet. (Both phoenix and pucc are now fingerable.)
CS Grad Studs/Faculty: cs.princeton.edu
CogSci Lab: clarity.princeton.edu
Math Dept: math.princeton.edu
You can also try fingering at princeton.edu.
Usernames are usually FMLLLLLL, sometimes LLLLLLLL or FFFFFFFL
Purdue: Changed: Tue Jun 29 1993
At Purdue, engineering students (undergrad/grad) have accounts on
machines on the Engineering Computer Network (ECN). There are
hundreds of machines, but the main ones are named according to a
fairly discernible system, i.e.
e?.ecn.purdue.edu = Electrical c?.ecn.purdue.edu = Civil
k?.ecn.purdue.edu = Chemical g?.ecn.purdue.edu = Nuclear/Aero
m?.ecn.purdue.edu = Mechanical p?.ecn.purdue.edu = Potter Library
In each case, "?" is one of 'a', 'b', 'c', etc..check your local host
tables or nameserver for a current list. Undergrads usually end up on
the 'n' series of machines... en, mn, cn, and gn.
Effective 10/16/90, mail to ecn hosts need only be labeled with the
local domain. For example, user@ecn.purdue.edu. Mail sent there will
automatically be forwarded to the users mailbox.
Usernames on ecn machines are assigned according to user preferences.
Try the usual (initials, fllllll, first name, last name, etc.). You
can send mail to ecn.purdue.edu (which will forward it to the
appropriate machine). Also, if your finger supports arguments, doing a
'finger -l lastname' will find people by name regardless of account.
Other students (CS, math/stat, and science majors) usually have
accounts on machines operated by the Purdue University Computing
Center (PUCC). These machines are all in the ".cc.purdue.edu"
subdomain. Many usernames are based on the user's last name and
initials, but many still use three letter/number combinations which
have nothing to do with the user's name. Computing center staff
usernames are either a name chosen by the user, or a three-letter
combination beginning with "a". Additionally, "finger" with a name
argument will find all people with that name, so try "finger -l
lastname".
Students are found on the 'instructional' machines; the
distribution of major courses is approximately like this:
expert = low-level courses for non CS or EE majors, some CS courses
sage = more low-level courses, first semester CS
feserve = freshman engineering courses and some CS courses
sonata = some Math and CS courses
mentor = most other CS courses
Students not in one of these courses may still have an account on
expert or sage, since there are many smaller groups to which accounts
are issued. Also, any Purdue student may obtain a student personal
account on one of these machines.
Research users are found scattered around all the PUCC machines, but
speedy, rapid, and swift are the most likely places to find them.
Staff can always be reached through 'staff' regardless of where they
have their accounts.
In addition to those, there is an IBM mainframe which is found on the
Internet as vm.cc.purdue.edu or on BITNET as PURCCVM. It is used
primarily by research users and Computer Technology majors, and
students taking statistics courses. Some student personal accounts
are also on this machine Usernames are either based on the person's
real name or Xyyy where yyy is a 3-character PUCC ID.
Graduate CS students are found on machines in the ".cs.purdue.edu"
subdomain, including "arthur", "mordred", "merlin", and other machines
named after characters from the Arthurian legends. Mail to
cs.purdue.edu usually works.
Veterinary students are found on machines in the ".vet.purdue.edu"
subdomain; these machines are named after animals or other vet terms
e.g. "dog", "goat", "pharm"...Agricultural/Agronomy Engineering
students are found on machines in the ".acn.purdue.edu" subdomain;
these include "harvest", "barn", etc...Some folks in chemistry can be
found on machines in the ".chem.purdue.edu" subdomain; many of these
are named after items from the Dr. Who series, e.g. "doctor",
"tardis", "k9"...Some folks in psychology can be found on machines in
the ".psych.purdue.edu" subdomain; these machines are named after
Latin/South American countries, e.g. "peru", "brazil", "mexico",
"panama"...Some folks in biology can be found on machines in the
".bio.purdue.edu" subdomain; some of these machines are named after
Tolkien characters, e.g. "bilbo", "gollum"...Some folks in physics can
be found on machines in the ".physics.purdue.edu" subdomain; these
machines are named after physicists, e.g. "maxwell", "newton"... The
Krannert School of Management is in the .mgmt subdomain, with hosts
zeus and hera. Most management students will be found on a PUCC
machine.
Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada
Faculty and staff: firstname.initial.lastname@queensu.ca.
Unfortunately you have to spell the name exactly as in the Personnel
records. This is an IBM mainframe machine with no Finger server.
Computing and Information Science: finger x@qucis.queensu.ca, where x
is lastname or firstname.
Reed College:
username@reed.edu, where username is of the form flllllll
Rice University (Houston, TX) Changed: Sun Mar 20 1994
Finger username@rice.edu, where name is firstname or lastname. This
is an online copy of the campus directory, giving surface address
and phone number (not e-mail address). Telephoning people is an
excellent and efficient way to find their e-mail addresses.
All students may request Owlnet accounts; try finger
name@owlnet.rice.edu (GNU finger daemon).
All students are given accounts on the rice mainframe computer, though
off-campus access is still restricted for these accounts unless given
permission. The address is @ricevm1.rice.edu and userid's are of the
form fllllnn, so John Smith is JSMIT00@ricevm1.rice.edu. Finger
name@ricevm1 works for some accounts but a negative response from it
is not definitive
Here's a small list of machines to try when searching for a user.
Try department machines frst for faculty, staff, and grad students,
and Owlnet first for undergrads. Append ".rice.edu" to these names.
Department Machine Names
========================================== ==========================
Computer Science: cs

Open to all students, faculty and staff.
Userids are lllllf@rpi.edu with digits added to break ties.
finger lastname@rpi.edu to verify userid only.
but finger @rpi.edu doesn't yield any login information.
Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT):
ritvax.bitnet
aaaXXXX@ritvax.isc.rit.edu, where aaa is users initials, XXXX is last 4
digits of Social Security Number (SSN)
Computer Science: aaaXXXX@cs.rit.edu. Sometimes anaXXXX where
n appears literally and means "no middle initial". Profs'
accounts omit the XXXX.
Rumour has it that some UNIX accounts on other machines within
the rit.edu domain use just last 4 digits of SSN, but recent
correspondents from RIT don't know of any such machines.
Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology: Terre Haute, IN
There are three major systems on which students are given accounts:
- Academic VAXcluster: rosevc.rose-hulman.edu
All students have accounts.
- NeXT workstation network: nextwork.rose-hulman.edu
All students have accounts.
- CS department network: cs.rose-hulman.edu
Any student can get an account upon request.
Student usernames are consistent across the systems, in the form
llllllfm. Mail addresses of the form: first.m.last@rose-hulman.edu
are also accepted; mail is directed to a preferred address.
Rowan College of New Jersey: Changed: Mon Sep 6 1993
(formerly Glassboro State College, renamed in 1993)
Below is a list of computers and who uses them. For help, send mail to
postmaster on whichever one seems the most appropriate. If you're not
sure, send it to postmaster@rowan.edu. For those with access to gopher
you can find current email info on our server. It includes most of the
electronic mail addresses on campus.
heroes.rowan.edu administrative departments, secretaries, some
faculty
saturn.rowan.edu Academic Computing, students, some faculty
elan.rowan.edu all School of Business faculty, students
irp.rowan.edu Institutional Research and Planning
gboro.rowan.edu Computer Science faculty, students
There is no on-line catalog of student e-mail addresses. If you send a
message to postmaster@rowan.edu you should get back the address (if
there is one) by the next business day.
Rutgers: Changed: Mon Jul 5 1993
Rutgers has a whitepages server, so you can do:
whois -h whitepages.rutgers.edu "fname lname"
to find email addresses. If the user has an email address it will
explicitly indicate "Email:". The "Userid" field is *NOT* an email
address. Not everyone with an email address has put it in the
directory.
Other ways to find email addresses at Rutgers: There are many
departmental machines, but these are a few common ones. Usernames
are usually "llllllll" but some are "fllllll" etc.
General Student: trident.usacs.rutgers.edu (New Bruns. undergrad (*)),
andromeda.rutgers.edu (Newark undergrad--all students),
draco.rutgers.edu (Newark grad--all students), clam.rutgers.edu
(Camden undergrad)
(*) not all New Bruns undergrads have accounts
CS: remus.rutgers.edu (undergrad), paul.rutgers.edu (grad),
cs.rutgers.edu (faculty), pyrite.rutgers.edu (grad/fac)
Engineering: pisces.rutgers.edu (ug), jove.rutgers.edu (g/fac),
caip.rutgers.edu (grad/fac)
Math: gauss.rutgers.edu (undergrad), math.rutgers.edu (grad/fac),

Systems Staff: klinzhai.rutgers.edu, cs.rutgers.edu,
hardees.rutgers.edu, gandalf.rutgers.edu
Student consultants: gandalf.rutgers.edu
McCormick Hall residents: dorm.rutgers.edu
There is a machine, pilot.njin.net, which is available to any
Faculty/Staff member at any New Jersey college by request. As such,
using finger lastname@pilot.njin.net may be useful in finding
someone at any of the non-Rutgers colleges in NJ.
Saint Anselm College:
Students, Faculty, Staff: anselm!username@dartmouth.edu
Usernames are of the form flllllll, where f is the first letter of the
first name and lllllll are the first seven letters of the last name.
If a last name has less than 7 letters, the entire last name is used.
Saint Anselm College is a UUCP client of dartvax, the Dartmouth
College system. All news and email is fed via a data transmission
made twice daily (1am and 1pm).
San Diego State University:
Faculty and Staff: flastname@sciences.sdsu.edu where f is the
first initial followed by the last name.
To access the campus phone directory:

San Francisco State University: Created: Tue Apr 6 1993
Domain: sfsu.edu
Santa Clara University:
Students and faculty with accounts there, at least in some cases, may
be reached as FLLLLLLL@scuacc.scu.edu, where FLLLLLLLL is the first
initial and LLLLLLL is the last name (or perhaps the first n
characters of the last name).
The IP address for SCUACC.SCU.EDU is 129.210.8.1.
You might want to contact the postmaster there for further
information. The telephone number for the Acedemic Computer Center is
408/554-4082
Scripps College (Claremont, CA): Changed: Sat Jul 3 1993
Finger flllllll@grover.claremont.edu.
Mail to: flast@scripps.claremont.edu (Novell network)
Finger at: charon.claremont.edu (Charon mail server)
Charon knows nothing about users unless they're logged in (and
crashes regularly).
Seattle University:
Everybody (students and faculty) are on the same machine,
@seattleu.edu
Seattle Pacific University Created: Fri Oct 8 1993
@spu.edu
Simon Fraser University: Changed: Mon Feb 15 1993
All students, staff and faculty have accounts on the campus computing
network (CCN). The domain name is @sfu.ca. User information is
available through an X.500 directory service, which can be accessed
via the finger program: finger f_l@whistler.sfu.ca, where f is the
first name and l is the last name.
Computing Science and allied units also maintain a separate subdomain
cs.sfu.ca (Centre for Systems Science). Users generally have the
same accounts on this domain as they do on the CCN.
Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, NY, 12866 (518) 584-5000
Internet domain name: skidmore.edu
Bitnet node name: skidmore
All e-mail is collected by scott.skidmore.edu (141.222.1.4)
Usernames normally take the form first initial and first seven
characters of the last name. You can also employ "fname.lname",
giving the complete first and last names separated by a dot.
Contact LDG@SCOTT.SKIDMORE.EDU for any delivery problems or other
questions about the College.
Smith College (Northampton, MA): Changed: Sun Mar 20 1994
Usernames are flllllll (or fmllllll to prevent duplicate names).
Most accounts are on VMS at smith.smith.edu. Some, mostly computer
science, are on UNIX at sophia.smith.edu, where fingering works (but
talk has been disabled).
Sonoma State University: fname.lname@sonoma.edu
Southwest Texas State University:
cs and math faculty or grad students: @swtexas.bitnet
(most user IDs are cs_lastname or ma_lastname)
Stanford: Changed: Wed Mar 24 1993
Stanford has implemented a finger service for its whois database. Try
"finger name@stanford.edu" first -- most students and lots of staff
and faculty now have their e-mail addresses registered with this
service. Name can be lastname, or for better results flllll or
fmllllll.
Alternatively, this service can be accessed via whois:
whois -h stanford.edu name
If that doesn't work, most students (and lots of staff and faculty)
have accounts on leland.stanford.edu. The finger daemon on leland
was turned off by December 1992; try its various clients: elaine0
through elaine53(.stanford.edu)
A couple of other machines to try:
CS (Grad and undergrad): xenon.stanford.edu
Geology/Earth sciences: pangea.stanford.edu
EE: sierra.stanford.edu
Psychology: psych.stanford.edu
St. John's University (Collegeville, MN): Changed: Tue Jan 4 1994
College of St. Benedict (St. Joseph, MN)
Students: fmllllllllll@csbsju.edu
Faculty: flllllllllll@csbsju.edu
St. Olaf College (Northfield, MN):
UNIX accounts are created for all students upon their admission to the
College. Not all faculty and staff have accounts yet, but we're
working on that.
General address form: lname@stolaf.edu
Last name conflicts are usually resolved by adding first
and/or middle initials to the end of the last name.
Try fingering Lname@stolaf.edu (note the capital letter).
Try using the St. Olaf Gopher information server at gopher.stolaf.edu.
Phonebook information can be found under "St. Olaf Information".
Try sending email to postmaster@stolaf.edu describing the
person you're trying to contact.
CSO phone book server at cso.stolaf.edu.
Stevens Institute of Technology (Hoboken, NJ, USA) Created: Mon Jul 5 1993
Send mail to username@SITVAX.STEVENS-TECH.EDU, where username is of
the form "first initial lastname" truncated to 8 characters, with a
uniqueness number. For example, John Smith would have the username
JSMITH, but Jane Smith (who's account was added after John's) would
have JSMITH1.
We hope to add a Campus Information Server in Fall'93 to make it
easier to find people. This record will be updated when that occurs.
SUNY/Albany: Created: Mon Aug 23 1993
Students: flnnnn@albnyvms.bitnet (VAX cluster) or @albnyvm1 (IBM
system) where nnnn is last 4 digits of social security number.
SUNY/Alfred (Alfred, NY)
(SUNY College of Technology at Alfred)
Students and faculty: llllllfm@snyalfva.cc.alfredtech.edu
(lastname, firstname, middlename, though middle name sometimes
isn't used.
SUNY/Binghamton: (Binghamton, NY) Changed: Sat Mar 27 1993
In order to contact someone at SUNY-Binghamton you'll have to give
them a call; there is no way of figuring out a student's address
given their name, as the mapping is random (sequential in the order
people apply for accounts).
Undergrads: bXNNNNN@HOSTNAME.cc.binghamton.edu where X is a letter
depending on what year they got their account: 91/92: A 92/93: B(?);
NNNNN are random digits, almost always starting with 0; HOSTNAME is
either bingvaxa (VMS), bingsuns (SunOS), bingvmb (IBM), or bingtjw
(IBM). Older userids are of the form vyNNNN@bingvaxa, and
bgNNNN@bingvmb.
Interested undergrads tend to have accounts on bingvaxa, though those
in Math/CS classes will have accounts on bingsuns.
An e-mail directory for some faculty and staff is available;
telnet to bingvmb.cc.binghamton.edu
DIAL VTAM
ELIXIR
Choose from menu.
SUNY/Buffalo:
Grads, Undergrads: username@ubvms.cc.buffalo.edu [finger not possible]
Userids of the form VNNNXXXX where NNN are the first
3 digits of one's social security number, and XXXX are
4 alphanumerics representing the rest of the social
security number.
General Computing Center (students): username@acsu.buffalo.edu
ubvms is a VAX, and most students had accounts there.
Recently, however, more people are getting accounts on acsu,
the Unix system.
Engineering Students: username@eng.buffalo.edu
EE Students: username@beatrix.eng.buffalo.edu
CS Dept: username@cs.buffalo.edu (username@sunybcs.bitnet)
The usernames for the acsu, cs (and possibly eng) seems to be formed
by something appoximating the following rules:
1) If lastname is <=8 character,
1.1) if it does not already exist as a username,
then username=lastname. (eg. smith)
1.2) else
username is first initial + lastname (eg. jsmith)
2) If lastname is too long, and a middle initial exists,
then username is initials (eg. jcs)
3) If lastname is too long but no middle initial exists,
then username is the first 5 chars of the last name, a -, and
then the initial. (eg. James Smithenson would be smith-j).
The cs and acsu domains share mail alias files, so mail to a username
at either cs.buffalo.edu or acsu.buffalo.edu will arrive at the user
in the same mailbox.
There are also geog (Geography), arch (Architecture) and med
(Medicine) domains.
SUNY/Canton
students: llllllll@scanva.bitnet, also try @snycanva.bitnet
SUNY/Geneseo
students: fmlyy@geneseo.bitnet .. yy is graduation year
I dont know about faculty, it might be on @snygenva.bitnet.
SUNY/Potsdam

flllllll@ic.sunysb.edu (servers are libserv1,
csserv1, csserv2, eeserv1; can't finger).
CS Folks: cs.sunysb.edu (cs is an alias to the host sbcs)
You can also use the campus "white pages", whois -h sunysb.edu ...
or try fingering at fllll@sunysb.edu
Syracuse Univ.:
CompSci Grads/Faculty: top.cis.syr.edu
Many CompSci graduates and faculty have accounts on this
machine; the usual username pattern is "lastname@top.cis.syr.edu"
Some faculty and staff:
SUADMIN.bitnet (suadmin.syr.edu)
Other students and faculty:
mailbox.syr.edu
sunrise.syr.edu (VAX 8820/VMS)
suvm.acs.syr.edu (IBM 3090/CMS)
suvm.acs.syr.edu and sunrise.syr.edu are run by the SU Computing
Services. Undergrads usually have accounts on sunrise (which is a
VAX VMS cluster). Both hosts are on bitnet as suvm and sunrise.
The pattern for all these hosts is: first-initial + middle-initial +
as much of the last name as possible.
White-Pages: "finger name@syr.edu" will search the online catalog
white pages for a registered user that has his/her information public.
Mutliple matches produces multiple output. "finger @syr.edu" for more
details. The same information is available via a BITNET directory
server (NSERVE@SUVM.BITNET), through PSI's X.500 project, and through
whois -h syr.edu
Phone Book: The Syracuse Phone book has the same e-mail addresses as
are available in the White pages, but as it's only printed once a
year they are usually out of date. Dialing (315) 443-1870 is campus
information; if the userid exists in the phonebook, the people
there will be happy to give it out.
consult@mailbox.syr.edu -- If the username exists, and that person
doesn't mind having it handed out, this userid will check into it
beforehand and reply via mail.
Swarthmore: Changed: Tue Aug 3 1993
Most Students/Faculty/Staff: FLLLLLLN@cc.swarthmore.edu, where F is
the user's first initial, and LLLLLL is the first six letters of
their last name. A '1' (one) is appended in most cases, though for
duplicates the number is incremented. To find people, send mail to
postmaster. You can also finger people by their last name.
As of fall 1993: some students may be reached at
lastname@sccs.swarthmore.edu
Computing Centre staff: usually lastname@cc.swarthmore.edu
CS: Usually, lastname@cs.swarthmore.edu
Engineering: usually lastname@engin.swarthmore.edu
Tampere Univ. of Technology (Tampere, Finland): Created: Mon Sep 6 1993
Host: tut.fi. Finger available.
Texas A&M University:
All students can have an account on a VAX cluster, a heterogeneous
set of UNIX boxes, or a VM/CMS machine. Probably less than
30% of the student body (40K students) takes advantage of this. The
format of the usernames is FML#### where fml are the initials and ####
is the last four digits of the SSN. If a student has no middle
initial then '0' (Zero) is used. These domain is "tamu.edu" and the
machine could be any of several choices like venus, rigel, summa,
sigma, etc.
General Unix: tamuts.tamu.edu, tamaix.tamu.edu,
tamsun.tamu.edu
General VAX/VMS: zeus.tamu.edu, venus.tamu.edu,
summa.tamu.edu, sigma.tamu.edu,
rigel.tamu.edu
General VM/CMS: tamvm1.tamu.edu
Finding addresses:
Try fingering lastname@tamsun.tamu.edu or lastname@tamu.edu.
(tamu.edu uses ph, the CSO Nameserver)
The computer science department's domain is "cs.tamu.edu". The
statistics dept is "stat.tamu.edu". The username format on these
machines is usually fffffffl or flllllll. Some old accounts may have
first names or last names only.
The math department's domain is math.tamu.edu.
There are about a million other departmental machines with varying
names but I believe they are all in the form "xxx.tamu.edu".
Trinity College (Hartford CT):
Students, staff, and faculty: firstname.lastname@mail.trincoll.edu
mail.trincoll.edu is currently equivalent to trincoll.edu
Tufts University:
tufts.edu, tufts.bitnet

Computer science: host kirk.usafa.af.mil
Finger works at both sites.
Univ. of Aalborg: @iesd.auc.dk
Univ. of Aarhus (Dennmark) Created: Wed Mar 24 1993
Computer Science: @daimi.aau.dk
Univ. of Akron:
Academic Machines: Faculty, Grad, Undergrad
vax1.cc.uakron.edu (vax, so finger works)
vm1.cc.uakron.edu (vms, so finger doesn't work)
vm1 is also known as akronvm.bitnet
Most students and faculty have accounts on either of these machines.
Usernames are usually r1 for faculty, r2 for graduate
students, and r3 for undergrads, followed by first, middle,
and last initials. (If the student doesn't have a middle
initial it is omitted.) Naming conflicts are resolved by
adding a digit to the end of the userid (e.g., 1, 2, ... 9).
for example: mine is r2sk9@vax1.cc.uakron.edu...
Engineering Machines: Grad, undergrad
file01.ecgf.uakron.edu (unix, but no fingering)
file02.ecgf.uakron.edu (unix, but no fingering)
Userid's normally begin with the first two letters of the
person's major (el = electrical, me = mechanical) followed by
4 digits to make 6 digit userid. Undergrads are given id's of
form bsxxxx.
Math Department machines: Faculty, Grad, Undergrad
vonneuman.cs.uakron.edu (unix and fingering works)
Only math students or students enrolled in courses offered by
math dept have accounts. finger works with first,lastnames or
userid's.
userid's for grads and faculty are by their last names.
undergrads and class accounts begin with sun followed by three
digits making 6 letter userid.
Mechanical Engineering Machines: Grad,faculty
Any grad engineering student can have an account.
Finger doesn't work for these machines.
starshine.mech.uakron.edu
sunshine.mech.uakron.edu
moonshine.mech.uakron.edu
Userid's are first names.
Univ. of Alabama at Huntsville:

Help: postmaster@ua1vm.ua.edu
Univ. of Alaska Changed: Tue Jun 29 1993
Bitnet: username@alaska.bitnet Internet: username@acadO.alaska.edu
Usernames are of the form CTFMLN where:
C=Campus
A is for U of A Anchorage
B is for non-university related accounts (very rare)
D is for Kodiak College
F is for U of A Fairbanks
G is for Tanana Valley
I is for Kenai Peninsula College
J is for U of A Southeast (in Juneau)
K is for U of A Southeast (Ketchikan branch)
L is for Bethel
N is for Nome
P is for Mat-Su College (in Palmer)
S is for system-wide personnel and organizations
T is for U of A Southeast (Sitka branch)
V is for Prince William Sound Community College (in Valdez)
Z is for Kotzebue
T is for usage type.
S is for an undergraduate student
T is for a graduate student
F is for faculty
N is for staff
X is for consultants
Y is for administration and organizations.
H is for temporary guest accounts
R is for research
FML is the initials of first, middle, and last names, respectively.
N is a number, and is only given (and then it starts from one) if
there are more than one person at the same school with the same
status and initials
O is the computer that the person is on.
1 is Southeast and affiliated schools
2 is Anchorage and its affiliates (Kodiak, Kenai, Mat-Su, and Prince
William Sound)
3 is Fairbanks and affiliates
However, a person with enough access can use other campus' computers.
acad2 and acad3 (.alaska.edu) can be fingered (usernames only - VMS
finger). Fingering these computers will not tell you the person's
name.
There are also other computers in the alaska.edu domain. SX accounts
(computer system administrators and testing accounts) usually are on
orca.alaska.edu and also on at least one of the acadO's. orca cannot
be fingered.
A student, faculty, or staff member can request an account on
camelot.acf-lab.alaska.edu, also. This computer can also be fingered.
Other computers in alaska.edu may not use this username assignment,
but orca.alaska.edu and camelot.acf-lab.alaska.edu do.
Univ. of Arizona:
Historically computer access at the UA had been limited to students,
faculty and staff who had either a job, or a class which required a
computer. Recently the Unix Users Group at the University of Arizona
began providing General Access Systems for no charge to UA students.
The machines are configured from donated, loaned and retired equipment
and managed by volunteer effort. As a volunteer effort, there is not
time to respond to postmaster requests for usernames so please do not
send address requests to the postmaster. Use the finger utility
instead; it will respond to "real name" requests (in the following
"gas" means "gas.uug.arizona.edu"):
finger -l kennedy@gas gotobed@gas |grep "Login name:"
Login name: bjk In real life: Brian J. Kennedy
Login name: kennedys In real life: Steven A Kennedy
Login name: jgotobed In real life: Joe Gotobed
While we are attempting to support a rational username policy, it is
not foolproof as this example shows. If the finger info returns
nothing, the person has no account on these systems.
Due to limited disk capacity, ( < 1Mb per account) the usage is
limited primarily to internet news, telnet, ftp and email. There are
currently about 500 students and a capacity of about 3,000 accounts.
While accounts are currently limited to students, we expect to provide
access to the general staff & faculty sometime in the spring of 1993.
There are nearly a hundred subdomains at the University, each with
their own access policies, username assignments and email schemes. If
the finger utility does not reveal the address of a friend, a phone
call to them asking for their address is probably the most efficient
way to discover it.
Many faculty and staff are on ccit.arizona.edu. If someone tells you
they are on "cosy" or "icosy," forget it; you can't send mail to them
(although they can send mail to you).
Undergrads in Computer Science are on caslon.cs.arizona.edu.
Undergrads in Engineering are on a cluster of Suns; try
evax2.engr.arizona.edu.
Grad students and Faculty are usually given accounts on their
department/college systems. Try math.arizona.edu;
physics.arizona.edu; mis.arizona.edu; cs.arizona.edu, etc.
In the School of Business, you can try FirstinitialLastname (e.g.
RReagan) @bpa.arizona.edu with very good success. If
FirstinitialLastname is ambiguous, a username might be
LastnameFirstinitial instead. (Main site was mis.arizona.edu until
late 1992). On BITNET send mail to username@arizbpa.bitnet
Arizona.EDU is the campus mail gateway, but only those who ask get
aliases on Arizona.EDU. You could try last-name@Arizona.EDU if you
suspect the person you want uses EMAIL a lot.
Univ. of Atlanta: @auc.UUCP
Univ. of British Columbia (Vancouver, BC, Canada)
Domain ubc.ca. Public accounts might be on unixg.ubc.ca.
Computer Science is cs.ubc.ca
Univ. of Calgary
General (Students/Faculty): @acs.ucalgary.ca
CS students/faculty: @cpsc.ucalgary.ca
for all faculty, staff, grads, undergrads
- often last name, or first name, or initials. or last name
followed by initials.
Univ. of California/Berkeley: Changed: Mon Aug 23 1993
Undergraduates in General: uclink.berkeley.edu or ocf.berkeley.edu
Faculty, staff, and graduate students can also get accounts on
ocf.berkeley.edu.
Undergrad CS/EE, 1st Year Grad: cory.berkeley.edu (This is for
undergrad juniors and seniors and first year graduate students. Most
other graduate students have their own workstations. For freshmen
and sophomores, one must look for a class account or ocf public
cluster. Undergrads now have to pay for accounts on cory, so fewer
people will be using it.) soda and ucsee are run by students (CS
Undergrad Association and UC Society of EEs, respectively).
First Year Graduate CS students: try cory.berkeley.edu or
xcssun.berkeley.edu. antipodes.berkeley.edu
CS Faculty, Grads, Staff: cs.berkeley.edu (aliases mail address)
CS Grad Students: snake.cs.berkeley.edu. Good systems to try are (all
.cs.berkeley.edu or .berkeley.edu) sprite, harmony, sequoia, larch,
robotics, postgres, and ginger. tenet.icsi.berkeley.edu also has
some CS grad students on it. Many machines in the department are
now foo.cs.berkeley.edu, but not all are.
EE Faculty: esvax, ic, cad, or a workstation
Janus will be going away soon, as will ucbarpa. Many csgrads will
have mail aliases on cs.berkeley.edu, which will eventually support
finger. Systems to try for grad students are (all .berkeley.edu):
sprite, harmony, sequoia, yew, larch, robotics, postgres, and ginger.
Soon, these will be moved into the cs.berkeley.edu subdomain instead
of berkeley.edu subdomain (ie, you'd finger @sprite.cs.berkeley.edu).
This will happen soon, but hasn't happened yet.
Names for the above accounts are usually, but not always, combinations
of the user's real first, middle and last names and/or initials.
However, finger will search the "real name" field as well as the
account name.
There are many class accounts (which all students get). These are
found on web.berkeley.edu,bard.berkeley.edu, and
xcssun.berkeley.edu. zooey, buddy, franny, and seymour too, except
they're being retired. Danube, amazon, congo, po, and volga and a
cluster of stars (named after stars) are supposed to be the
replacements. web and buddy hold classes that freshmen and
sophomores often take. seymour and franny are often used for classes
for business majors.
Class account usernames are typically cnnn-mxx or ennn-mxx, where 'c'
or 'e' denotes CS or EE, nnn is the course number, m is the section
number (not always used), and xx are two letters.
Statistics class accounts are of the form s#xxxx, where # is the class
number and xxxx is some string of alphabetic characters. These
accounts live on gandalf.berkeley.edu. Statistics cluster computers
are named after Tolkien characters.
qal.berkeley.edu is used for courses in "practical computer use"
(taught by the anthropology department). Account names are 193xxx,
where xxx is the last name of the user.
Math (Graduate and Faculty): math.berkeley.edu
Stat Department: stat.berkeley.edu
Physics Grads and Undergrads: physics.berkeley.edu
Mech. E Profs & Grads: euler.berkeley.edu, tycho.berkeley.edu
Public Cluster (some undergrads): ocf.berkeley.edu
School of Education: soe.berkeley.edu
Other machines to try: ucbvax.berkeley.edu
garnet.berkeley.edu and violet.berkeley.edu are the most likely place
for a pay-for-use account. Some departments maintain accounts on
these machines for faculty and staff, though, so these machines are
the place to try for faculty affiliated with departments that have
no real computing facilities. Almost anyone on campus can pay for an
account on these machines.
Some of the class accounts are also on congo. Generally addresses for
the first semester classes are:
CS 60A - c60a-__@danube
CS 3 - c3-1a__@amazon or c3-1b__@congo
School administration has set up the computer uclink.berkeley.edu, for
staff or students who want an account (they can keep it for the time
that they are there). It's supposedly on a pilot program, but many
students are getting accounts there. As of summer 1993 it is
expanding rapidly to cover all faculty, staff, and students.
Also, people can look for staff people on whois.berkeley.edu.
postmaster@nettlesome.berkeley.edu should be considered as a last
choice when looking from someone electronically.
Univ. of California/Davis:
@ucdavis.edu -- works if you know their account name
userids are of the form fmlllll.
@clover.ucdavis.edu -- works for anyone in the CS department
whois -h ucdavis.edu <name>
CS: First.Last@cs.ucdavis.edu
Engineering/CS: First.Last@ee.ucdavis.edu
or First.Last@eecs.ucdavis.edu
Univ. of California/Irvine:
CS Undergrads: bonnie.ics.uci.edu
Mail sometimes restricted; policy has changed several times.
Userid usually FLLLLLLL (8 char max); sometimes FFFFFFFL.
CS Grads/Staff/Faculty: ics.uci.edu
Faculty userids are usually their last names, sometimes
initials, a few firstname only. Grads usually FLLLLLLL,
some lastname only. Staff sometimes firstname, sometimes lastname.
Other departments: mostly grads; userids usually lastname.
Biology dept: sanger.bio.uci.edu
EE: balboa.eng.uci.edu
Physics dept: skid.ps.uci.edu
Social sciences: ss.uci.edu
Try fingering fname-lname@XX.uci.edu (for XX=ics,sanger.bio, etc.)
There are two types of accunts on orion.oac.uci.edu:
(1) Staff in the Office of Academic Computing
(2) Students
Staff userids on orion are usually FLLLLLLL, 8 char max. The student
accounts on orion are different, though. Any student can get an orion
account, but not a lot do. The userids for these accounts are seven
characters as follows: first "ea", then two characters representing
major and grad vs. undergrad status, respectively,
(e.g., i = information & computer science, u = undergrad),
then three random digits. Non-staff orion users tend to use
their accounts infrequently because of usage limits.
Univ. of California/Los Angeles (UCLA):
CS: @cs.ucla.edu @oahu.cs.ucla.edu
MATH: @math.ucla.edu, @sonia.math.ucla.edu, @oak.math.ucla.edu
(graduate students, staff, faculty)
EE grads & faculty: ee.ucla.edu (network of RTs and SUNs
running unix. Each machine has the name of a famous
engineer: watt.ee.ucla.edu, joule.ee.ucla.edu, etc)
Usernames vary; try fname, lastname,...
AGSM: @agsm.ucla.edu @uclagsm
(Anderson Graduate School of Management)
All of students , staffs and faculty have their user ID.
User ID: FLLLLLLL (max 8 characters)
Class Accounts: pic.ucla.edu (PIC = program in computing)
These get cleared every quarter. Account names are usually
the course number followed by three letters chosen by the student.
If you finger @laguna.pic.ucla.edu, you get more detailed
info, such as when the user last logged on, etc.
Engineering: seas.ucla.edu This is a server for a network for
the school of engineering and applied sciences. Any engineering
graduate student can get an account on it, and many undergrads
have accounts on it for classes. This machine has access to
USENET.
Anybody: oac.ucla.edu An IBM 3090. Anyone in UCLA can get an
open access account on this to send mail, etc. Account
names on this machine are terribly cryptic (such as IZZYR33).
Univ. of California/Santa Cruz:
Undergrads: ucscb.ucsc.edu
Other hosts include ucsc{c-e,o}.ucsc.edu, ucscvm.ucsc.edu, etc. All
these hosts (except for ucscb) are on bitnet as the first part of
their domain name.
A new host, cats.ucsc.edu, has been added as the mail address for
UCSC's version of Athena. Users can be fingered by username, first
name, or last name. Undergrads, grads, faculty, and some staff may
have accounts on cats. Users choose their own IDs, so you must use
finger to get an account name.
As of late fall 1992, the name space of cats and ucscb have been
merged, so that almost all students have the same userid on both
systems. However, there are (and will likely always be) separate
accounts on the 2 systmes that use the same name - so there will
remain differences between mailing to SomeAddress@cats and
SomeAddress@ucscb.
Univ. of California/San Diego (UCSD):
The primary mail gateway is ucsd.edu. This machine also has a
smart finger program, which will look up names that sound similar
to the one you fingered. Just "finger name@ucsd.edu".
Most usernames are the initial of the first name followed by the
last name, truncated to 8 characters, ie. "jfowler@ucsd.edu", but
this is not always the case (because most people don't like their
names truncated).
Machine sdcc13 houses the student personal accounts at present, but
mail to ucsd.edu will reach (almost) everyone on sdcc13.ucsd.edu.
If the person is a graduate student, faculty member, or staff
member try: weber (social sciences), cogsci (guess), bend
(linguistics), crl (some developmental psychology people).
Many, many other machines house course, faculty, staff, and research
accounts. Your best bet is to look the name up at ucsd.edu.
Univ. of Central Florida (Orlando)
CS dept: only grad students are given accounts. finger
lastname@eola.cs.ucf.edu
Engineering: finger initials@apocalypse.engr.ucf.edu
General: ucf1vm.cc.ucf.edu. (A bitnet node, so you cannot finger)
Univ. of Chicago: Changed: Thu Jul 1 1993
Undergraduates: midway.uchicago.edu (formerly tank.uchicago.edu)

system, so sending mail to finitial-lastname@uchicago.edu will
work if they've entered a real mailbox into their ph entry.
In case of name conflict, add additional initials beyond the
first. Questions should be directed to advisor@midway.uchicago.edu.
Unfortunately few people bother to input their e-mail addresses.
