The UCLA Computer Science Department provides
you with a computer account and network access
to support your education and research. We
expect you to behave responsibly with this
account. Misuses could result in the
loss of your account.
- You must follow the guidelines established
by UCLA for all computer accounts, in addition
to those guidelines specifically mentioned
here.
- Do not break any US or California laws
in the use of your account. This includes
copyright laws.
- Do not use your account to
break into any other account, either in the
department or anywhere else. Do not
use your account to probe other systems for
vulnerabilities, nor to interfere with other
people’s use of computers or networks, nor
to eavesdrop on network traffic, nor to create
and disseminate malicious code that causes
trouble to others, nor to perform denial
of service attacks.
- You may not use your account
to support any business or other commercial
activity.
- Be courteous and sensible in your
interactions with others while using the
machine. Avoid
doing anything that will reflect badly on
yourself, our department, or the university.
- Remember
that the workstations, storage space, printers,
scanners, and networks are shared resources. They
cost the department money to provide and
maintain, so use them sensibly and avoid
waste.
- The department will make every reasonable
effort to provide you with privacy and security
for this account. You in turn must
behave sensibly with regards to security. Choose
a good password, do not share it with anyone
else, do not allow others to use your account,
and use reasonable care in installing and
running software. Run a virus detection
program on your machine, and keep its database
updated. (UCLA will provide you a free Windows
virus detection program through Bruin On-Line).
If there are security problems with your
account, you are expected to cooperate with
the facility’s staff in solving them, and
to take any steps that they require. In extreme
circumstances, security problems may require
the facility’s staff to disable your account
with little or no notice. We will avoid
such actions whenever possible.
- The department
web server will host web pages for you. Remember
that anything you post reflects on both you
and us, and use this service responsibly. Try
to avoid posting web pages that will become
so popular that they will cause problems
for others sharing the web server and the
network.
- We urge you to bring problems and suggestions
for improvement to our attention. Please
understand that while the facility’s staff
is committed to providing all users with
a powerful, reliable computer and network
environment, we cannot always solve your
problems instantly and cannot incorporate
all suggestions.
- Do not set up wireless networks on the
UCLA campus without first consulting the
facility’s staff. If they cause the rest
of the department problems, we will have
to track them down and shut them off with
no warning. Repeatedly setting up such networks
may cost you your account.
If you are unclear on whether certain actions
or behaviors are acceptable under our policies,
please consult one of the facility’s staff. Generally,
use common sense and don’t do anything to others
that you wouldn’t want done to you.
