Policies for General Access UNIX Systems

Individual systems and their functions will be listed first. Policies that apply to all general access systems will follow.

APACHE : Application Server

Application packages for word processing, mathematics and other modeling packages are available on this server. User written programs should be run on this system as well. This resource is primarily intended for student use.

INCA : Special Resource Server

This machine is a semi-restricted system. It serves as a development resource and is available to faculty, staff, graduate level research and users enrolled in specific courses.

Policies for all General Access Unix Systems at UTD

These policies are an extension of the "Policies for Use of Computer Accounts" and have been added to benefit the maximum number of our unix user population.

• IRC
  The University of Texas at Dallas currently does not recognize IRC as being a requirement for the completion of any course work. It will not help nor provide any user with information, source code or binaries needed in order to access IRC. The use of IRC is discouraged in order to allow others to work on their course work. IRC processes may be killed without notification of the owner.
• IRC and BOTS
  Having stated the above policy, the University of Texas at Dallas does not allow nor will it tolerate any IRCrobots of any kind to run on its systems. Any IRC bots found to be running may be killed without notification of the owner. Repeated violations of this policy may result in the loss of computing access.
• Resource Limits
  These systems may have limits to the number of processes a user is allowed to run. Processes may also be limited to a maximum amount of CPU time allowed. These limits may differ on each system, depending on that systems charter.
