A dump of all files is taken every week. These file backups are for recovery from catastrophic loss. Individual user file recovery is not available at this time. Requests for change of password should be made to Ira Gold at the address above. Requests to change student passwords will only be honored when they are made by the instructor.
Instructors can make such requests via electronic mail.
All user login ids on the OIT Unix cluster have a disk quota associated with them. When the disk quota is exceeded, the user will not be able to create new files until the amount of disk space in use has been reduced, or the disk quota has been increased. Initial disk quota for classroom accounts is 5 meg per account. Requests for change of disk quota should be made to Ira Gold at the address above. Requests to change student disk quotas will only be honored when they are made by the instructor.
