Samba is installed on some of our main servers to provide UNIX file and printer services to NT computers over the network. In order to use the ECE departmental computing system, you will need a computer account that can be obtained via a Web workstation in room 301 Phillips Hall. With the exception of School support staff, only faculty-authorized individuals will be given a computer account. We do not authorize or support the sharing of computer accounts. Accounts are normally given only to ECE faculty members, graduate students, staff members, and visiting researchers and instructors.
Confidential material is maintained on the computer system.
Any of these actions will result in loss of all computer privileges, and may, for student users, result in expulsion from the graduate program. Regardless of operating systems, network computers are by no means impenetrable. By virtue of our dial-in ports and Internet connections, ECE networked computer systems are accessible to people outside of the Cornell Community. Therefore, care should be taken when storing confidential information on a networked computer system. It is the responsibility of the individual to whom a computer account has been issued to insure that it is well protected.
