when I get back from vacation this fall I plan to again offer accounts...
I will however require some sort of verifiable name/way to contact you.

these however will NOT be given out, unless you are caught doing
something illegal.  

the reasoning behind this lies in why I shut down this semester.
hacking...  both into the system and out of...  

first off, hacking into a free system is stupid!!  where's the point??

second hacking from a sight where the sysadmin is being kind enough to
give you free access is ALSO dumb...   

So, to repeat... I will again be offering accounts in the fall.  I will
require some sort of ID.  I will allow users to do whatever they want on
the system (within reason) as long as it doesn't get ME, CMU, or the user
in trouble, or have the POTENTIAL to do so...   

Also in the fall I will most likely be running a copy of yabbs on the
machine.  but we'll see about that...

Also note that I am running basically a beta OS (linux)...  thus problems
seem to be frequent...  hopefully the tcpip bugs will be fixed by the
fall.

I'll be leaving for home in two days, and probably won't stop by here
before then...  My email for the summer will be vitroth+@cmu.edu
(forwarded to my home town)...  Enjoy the summer...   see you in the
fall.
