ScienceAccount

Each new employee should get an account to use at the Science faculty. We call it the Science account, but is also sometimes called the FNWI account. The science account is needed for :

• Working on managed PCs.
• Login to linux servers like lilo1.science.ru.nl, lilo2.science.ru.nl etc. where lilo.science.ru.nl is alias of the preferred machine from this set.
• Home directory, backed up by C&CZ, which is general accessible  :
  • home directory on linux servers (shared using nfs protocol)
  • you can mount it as a network disk  (fileserver : pluri.science.ru.nl)
    note: on managed pc's and the linux servers this home directory is automatically available
• Printing on network printers.
• Connecting to the Science WiFi network.
• Setting up a VPN connection with the Science faculty

We can ask C&CZ to create such an account by sending postmaster@cs.ru.nl an email with the following information:

• Real name
• Preferred login name
• End of contract
• Main group
• Printbudget group
• U-number

Office and phone numbers are no longer needed. This kind of information is supposed to be added by the management assistants of the sections.

Note that it can be combined with the question to create a personal webdirectory. See Support/Webdirectory.

Next to the science account :

• local employees need to register a so called u-account
• external phds/employees/contacts (without ru salary) can register for a so called e-account
