Account application form

## Account application form for nic.funet.fi

At the request of the CSC/FUNET management we kindly ask to provide us with your contact information etc. needed by our account administration. This system is still a bit experimental but if successful you may be to modify more of your information later using this or similar tool. Currently the requests are screened manually by Harri Salminen then sent to our user manager Aila Lyijynen but future updates may be more automatic. Please be patient with this new system.

What type of account you are applying for?

Details on the account type you need: Please note, that we don't grant accounts for normal internet use on nic.funet.fi, only accounts needed for managing the services and information we have. Mirror accounts are an exception and we grant them only to other well known ftp sites willing to offload a significant traffic from us. Normal users should use our servers via the anonymous ftp account at ftp.funet.fi, gopher.funet.fi, www.funet.fi, info.funet.fi etc. which don't need any special accounts. In general we expect you to have your personal internet account at some preferably a FUNET member site or use one of the commercial internet connection providers if you need a dial up connection. We may still have to apply some usage limits especially for foreign users since we have nearly constant overload on the lines already although we have several megabits/second capacity. Do you already have your contact information in the CSC customer database? (E.g. if you have an account at some CSC.FI machine, or receive some of the printed publications from us)

     Yes  No  I Don't know

    Account name    that you already
    have at CSC/FUNET computers or would like to have. If empty we
    will allocate a new one of the type jmaki for a name ("Jussi Mäki").
    Maximum length is eight US-ASCII characters due to technical limitations.

If you answered yes, we'll try to just add your NIC.FUNET.FI information to your already existing contact information. If not we will create a new entry for you with the contact information in this form. We may later send you a paper version for verification.

### Your contact information

This information will be used the main contact address in administrative contexts. E.g. if you forget your password, our user manager will contact you back for verification. You can also receive CSC printed publications and other printed material unless you specify an alternative address for them. The various parts of the address will be used in the approximate order shown for mailing labels, so if the fields don't seem applicable to you please try to improvise... E.g. if you study in some university and work elsewhere you could give first your university as organization, home address for postal use and then your work address in the "home address" section ;-).

## NIC.FUNET.FI specific information

This section applies only to NIC.FUNET.FI and may be separated in the future from your other information. In general we expect all maints people to subscribe at least to maints alias and an alias for their specific subject area. We add more aliases on request, since in general they are stable contact addresses behind which people may change, go on long vacations etc. and the users don't need to know and you don't need to try to update the publicized address all around the world... Of course you can still advertise your name, personal www id cards etc. but for contacting in administrative issues please try to use an alias.

Membership in the various administrative xxx-adm@nic.funet.fi alias groups Please check carefully since we might recreate the aliases based on these. This applies only to maints, csc and staff groups and is in experimental use for now. You can change these later, this is just an initial setting. You should join only those aliases you are really willing to volunteer some work as well. A good idea would be to send mail to the alis asking if they would like to have more help and especially how you should help in a way that doesn't mix up the current practices for the particular area.

Additional information to managers@nic.funet.fi. E.g. for what specific purpose you would need this account at nic.funet.fi, how it relates to the goals of FUNET, estimated additional disk space in the /pub area, reference information, possible co-operation with some of the existing maints group members etc. We will use this and other information to verify your credentials and determining if the proposed activity suits to nic.funet.fi and necessitates the type of account and resources you are proposing. For mirror accounts we would like know which portion of the archive, how often and from which domain you'd intend to mirror.
