Accounts

At Reed's instruction, your username is fixed at account creation to be your Kerberos username. Then, your password is set on Polly and copied out to everywhere else. Don't try to change your password on other machines; always SSH into Polly.1

Graduation

After you graduate, we'll delete your account, including any data that you may have.

Spring class of 2025: We've already deleted your accounts, but your home directories are still around. Send an email if you want me an archive of them.

Fall class of 2025 and onwards: We'll send you your home directories as a tarball via email. Then, we'll delete everything. If you've got any additional last wishes, just send an email.

  1. At some point, I (Tali) might make a web app to change your password without SSH'ing. If this happens, I'll link it. ↩
