Subject: university addresses !
Organization: Carleton University
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 1992 02:40:31 GMT

Someone wanted to know how to trace someone's email address. There
is a nice utility called netfind.

This utility can be invoked as follows :
                                telnet   bruno.cs.colorado.edu
                                login    netfind
                                password is not required.


Once you have logged-in as netfind, you will be presented with a menu.
(Help/Search/Seed database lookup/Options/Quit)

Goto Search. You will be asked to 
                                  enter person and keys

here you may enter either the first or the last name of the person you are
looking for, and the place that you want to search for the person
(eg. ajit ottawa).

If the place has more than one domain in the place you specified, you will be
presented with a list of domains, from which you may select upto 3 (at a time).
Netfind will conduct a search for the person named, and will show the finger output
in case its search is successful. At the end of the session, it will also
show you "the most promising email address for " the person named.


Personally I find this utility quite good, and it works for me about 60% of the
times. The nice thing is that you need not know the email address (if you knew
it, you wouldn't be using netfind !), and that it works on both the first and the
last names. If you know which university (organization) the person in studying 
(working) in, it's better to specify the university (and department, if known) 
followed by the location. The search is restricted, and works much faster !

One problem that you may face is if the particular site has refused connect
or finger access. In that case, netfind is not able to locate a person. However,
if you know the department/university, you may write to the postmaster@<hostname>
and request the email address of the person you are looking for. (The list of 
hostnames will be displayed by netfind even if they have refused connect/finger
access).

Hi,
Firstly thanks to all those who replied to my request
about the Cleveland FreeNET :-)

Now, the question:
Does anyone know where there's an archive of computer crime
related articles/papers/stories et al ??? (if one exists)

Cheers,

Paul.

If anyone has room to throw anohter user on their system he would

Well, there was apiece in the local paper (Nanaimo, I think) about a 
"Freenet" organization happening in Victoria. 

I've looked through all the back issues I could find and don't see it 
now, but it gave a phone number in Victoria to call for more information.
Perhaps your library's issues of the Victoria papers would have the 
article. Look in the past week's issues.

The Ministry of Communications gives operating licenses to those who
qualify as commercial service providers.  There are a number of companies
who have been working for the past 4 months to acquire the government
ratification.  All organizations in Israel that wish to connect to a
commerical service provider must also get government ratification (since
the network is susidized by the government, they wish to support R&D
activities in Israel and not other activities).

Only those with a license are allowed to supply 3rd party service.  I
would suggest anyone who pays to use such a system as designed is asking
for trouble.

Yes, I'm already subscribed to soc.culture.indonesia, and a collegue (Peter

I received some answers and had a phone talk to the Network Manager in
Jakarta, who said that ITS Surabaya was scheduled to be connected to their
network in Januari, 1993. In the mean time we're trying to arrange a UUCP
phone connection from Surabaya to Indonesia, but as the phone line on my
talk from here (The Netherlands) to mr Ibrahim in Jakarta wasn't very good,
we still have to see what will be in that case.... Anyway, I'll keep you
informed if we make any progress....
If anyone needs more info, see also the FAQ in alt.culture.indonesia.

The one youre refering to is the Youngstown Free-Net in Youngstown, Ohio.
To create an account (on line) telnet to the above address and login 
as visitor. No password is required.

Hope this helps,

OR can you suggest any other way of connecting to the netinfo service?

Well, I missed the beginning of this, so let me chime in.
IF you are using unix, you can just set up a file called .netrc and follow
the directions in the man page for it. I don't know if this works for vms
or any other os, but try it. I have included my .netrc to help you out.
Please note that the line continuations are necessary. You cannot hit return
whenever you like, you must do it like I did.

Explaination:
   machine       is the name of the machine you are connecting to.
   login         is the login name you will be using. (anonymous usually)
   password      is the password you will use (your mailing address at most
                  sites)
   macdef init   tells ftp that the following is a macro to run after you
                  are connected and logged in.
   ???????????   commands for the macro.
                 an extra return after the commands tells ftp that the next
                  line is the next machine.

Good luck,
Chris

Best way I know of is to telnet to  bruno.cs.colorado.edu and login
as "netfind". Read help option from menu for how to search for
a particular person's e-mail. 

I did a quick check, There seems to be a number of domains in the list:

        0. csd.mu.edu (computer science department, marquette university, milwaukee, wisconsin)
        1. frntr.mu.edu (marquette university, milwaukee, wisconsin)
        2. marquette.mi.us (city of marquette, michigan, united states)
        3. mei.com (marquette electronics, inc, milwaukee, wisconsin)
        4. mscs.mu.edu (marquette university, milwaukee, wisconsin)
        5. mu.edu (marquette university, milwaukee, wisconsin)
        6. mu.net (marquette university, milwaukee, wisconsin)

In the future, it would probably be better practice to edit and upload
your data to one machine, and then have that computer forward the data
to twenty or more machines distributed around the country.  I was
polling world.std.com every ten minutes via a crontab script and
mirroring the .plan file there to my own.  Two of us were broadcasting
the results to IRC as well.  IMO, the less load on one machine the
better!

My thanks to you for providing the service!
