See your group's Administrative Assisistant to be added to their
group email alias. If you are not on their alias, the Administrative
Assistant should notify ISG so you can be added to the
"downtime" alias (so you will receive notices of servers/printers that
are offline).

NCAR/CGD Computing

Supported OSs Linux (CentOS) Sun Solaris Microsoft Windows (XP) Apple MacOSX Non-NCAR Equipment CGD/IS does not support equipment that is not owned by NCAR. CGD/IS can arrange for connections to the wireless or guest network, but cannot assist with the actual connection. Desktop Visitors and new hires need to work with their sponsor to provide desktop equipment. CGD/IS can provide xterms (i.e., Sunrays running SunOS) if necessary.

Storage and Backups
       http://www.cgd.ucar.edu/systems/documentation/faqs/backups_quotas.html

NOTE: Most CGD file systems are automounted. If the directory is not available on a system, try changing into the directory to 'trigger' the automounter into mounting the filesystem.

Ex: [mmoore@poorman ~]$ cd /ftp/pub
