It is our file server for the Sun workstations in Morton, modem pool server, and a general purpose purpose unix box. Accounts are given to students as they require them for class work. Certain classes are given accounts with login ids that begin with the number '1'. These accounts are only issued for one quarter, and are deleted at the end of the quarter automatically.
Majors keep their accounts until they graduate.
Non-major have their accounts delete the next quarter, unless they take another class. The following notes describe software and features on Prime and the workstations that can be accessed by individual users. The official email address is prime.cs.ohiou.edu. Mail sent to any of the Sun workstations will actually be sent to prime. Deuce is a sparc server that is part of the prime ring of Suns, so you will need a prime account to use it.
