The humble Tibicen Blackmane does beseach you to entertain this missive she submits to you with good will: This account is not to be a strictly personal account, but rather that of Mitgaard as a whole -- i.e. we share it. A number of people will have the password to this account (and you are one of them). But because of this it is possible for any one person to do as they will with it when they are logged on. So I ask that you refrain from some things: Please don't change the password without cause, and if you *must* send mail to ``sca-users'' (an alias) telling them what the new password is. The default on athena is to make all new files read/wrt/exctbl only by the user; unless you mean to be fascist, please change the permissions to include the group (chmod g+wrx foo.file). Please don't alias any already defined command to be any other command. Please don't customize this account without leaving detailed instructions about what you have done; even better would be leaving a letter in here explaining what you mean to do before you do it so that if anyone objects the problems can be worked out in advance. Please don't remove the welcome.* files unless you have a superior replacement. Please don't nuke files wantonly; if it gets too cluttered, we can have a purge party. Please don't leave lots of stray zephyr subscriptions in the zctl, please don't leave lots of email subscriptions lieing all over the world. Please don't hack into NORAD from here; please don't commit email fraud or any other felonies from here. And never set the cat on fire. July 1, A.S. 25 Lady Tibicen Blackmane, Provost of Mitgaard
