This defines both the rights and responsibilities of computer users and system maintainers at the University of Minnesota. In brief Don't share your account or password with anyone.
Systems administrators perform periodic security checks of our systems, including password checks.
Any user who has a weak password will be notified by email. If the password is not changed within a reasonable amount of time, the account will be locked. Don't attempt to circumvent system security. Unauthorised attempts to gain root access or access to any account not belonging to you will be regarded as a hostile act. If you find a possible vulnerability or security hole in a system, you must report it to the system administrators.
