At the request of the CSC/FUNET management we kindly ask to provide us with your contact information etc. needed by our account administration. This system is still a bit experimental but if successful you may be to modify more of your information later using this or similar tool. Currently the requests are screened manually by Harri Salminen then sent to our user manager Aila Lyijynen but future updates may be more automatic. Please be patient with this new system.
What type of account you are applying for? maints group, general public ftp administration special more restricted group, please supply details rw ftp only account for updating some specific files ro ftp account for mirroring some specific area I already have an account, that I just want to update Other, please supply details
Details on the account type you need: Please note, that we don't grant accounts for normal internet use on nic.funet.fi, only accounts needed for managing the services and information we have. Mirror accounts are an exception and we grant them only to other well known ftp sites willing to offload a significant traffic from us. Normal users should use our servers via the anonymous ftp account at ftp.funet.fi, gopher.funet.fi, www.funet.fi, info.funet.fi etc. which don't need any special accounts. In general we expect you to have your personal internet account at some preferably a FUNET member site or use one of the commercial internet connection providers if you need a dial up connection. We may still have to apply some usage limits especially for foreign users since we have nearly constant overload on the lines already although we have several megabits/second capacity. Do you already have your contact information in the CSC customer database? (E.g. if you have an account at some CSC.FI machine, or receive some of the printed publications from us)
Yes No I Don't know Account name that you already have at CSC/FUNET computers or would like to have. If empty we will allocate a new one of the type jmaki for a name ("Jussi Mäki"). Maximum length is eight US-ASCII characters due to technical limitations.

Membership in the various administrative xxx-adm@nic.funet.fi alias groups Please check carefully since we might recreate the aliases based on these. This applies only to maints, csc and staff groups and is in experimental use for now. You can change these later, this is just an initial setting. You should join only those aliases you are really willing to volunteer some work as well. A good idea would be to send mail to the alis asking if they would like to have more help and especially how you should help in a way that doesn't mix up the current practices for the particular area.
