CAIDA Computer Facilities Usage Agreement
Cooperative Association for Internet Data Analysis University of California, San Diego Supercomputer Center The purpose of this document is to specify a set of guidelines for acceptable use of CAIDA machines. CAIDA senior staff have the authority to disable logins immediately for failure to comply with this agreement. These rules apply to any system managed by CAIDA staff. 1. All usage of these facilities must be consistent with the purpose for which the account was originally requested and provided. Occasional personal use is allowed within reasonable limits. Expressly prohibited are any uses in conflict with CAIDA projects. Ask the CAIDA PI if you have questions about the appropriate use of CAIDA machines. 2. All computer accounts (logins) are for the use of a single individual, the person for whom the account was approved. Sharing or loaning accounts is strictly prohibited. Specifically, giving your password to anyone for any reason is NOT OK, logging in and letting your guest use your account is OK as long as you supervise your guest's use of your account. 3. Use of these facilities to gain unauthorized access to any other account, at this facility or any other facility, is prohibited. 4. These facilities may only be used for lawful purposes. Transmission of any material in violation of any US or state regulation is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to: copyrighted material (unless authorized by the copyright holder), threatening or obscene material, or material protected by trade secret. 5. CAIDA machines are part of a collaborative research environment, and so all files are considered shared by default should set file permissions to be more restrictive on any files that contain information you want to keep private (e.g. your mail). It is expected that the number of files of his nature stored on CAIDA machines will be kept to a minimum. 6. CAIDA is responsible for restricting access to sensitive data such as raw trace data from backbone networks. Under no circumstances will you store this data in world-readable files or directories. 7. Use of other organizations' networks or computing resources must comply with the rules for that network. You agree to abide by the appropriate use policy of all networks affiliated with CAIDA, as applicable. 8. When appropriate, be considerate of other users: use nice (1) to lower the priority of large processes or use at (1) to schedule them to run at night or over the weekend, and conserve resources like paper and disk space. I understand and will abide by the above terms and conditions for use of these facilities. If the propriety of any situation is unclear, I will ask for clarification from the CAIDA PI rather than making assumptions.
