New Unified Harris Lab (UHL) Account Policy

New policy has been approved by the CS Department Facilities Committee, that changes the nature of user accounts in the Harris Lab. Beginning this summer, accounts will no longer be issued for individual Harris Lab Servers (ie Maelstrom, Zach, or ChipX Systems). Instead you will now be issued a Unified Harris Lab (UHL) account, which will enable you to access any systems available for use.

Please be aware that this new policy affects not only new accounts, but ALL existing accounts on any of the Harris Lab Servers. Accounts that currently reside on tuck WILL NOT be carried over when the transition from Tuck to Maelstrom is complete. All user data will remain on a hard drive until Friday, September 18, 1998. As a precaution all user data contained on tuck will also be backed up to tape on Friday, June 12, 1998.

Upon obtaining a UHL account your data will be transferred to your new home directory. For information on obtaining a Unified Harris Lab Account, please see below.

Also note that all disk quotas will still apply for all data moved from Tuck to a UHL account. The current quota for UHL accounts is set at 6000 KB.
