How to sign up for an account at The Soviet |
|
=========================================== |
|
|
|
The Mare Crisium Soviet Socialist Regency is a public-access Unix |
|
system offering shell access for personal and non-commercial use. |
|
|
|
Before asking for an account on The Soviet, please read: |
|

|
To request an account on this server, please send an email to KatolaZ |
|
(katolaz at freaknet dot org), using the subject "Soviet new user |
|
account", and including your *public* SSH key in attachment. Please be |
|
sure to attach your *public* SSH key, not the private one. If you don't |
|
know how to generate an SSH key, then find it out and come back when you |
|
have one. You will usually receive a reply to your request within one or |
|
two days, containing information on how to login and use the system. |
|
|
|
The owner of an account is the sole responsible for the content |
|
published from that account and for the actions performed by that user. |
|
The Union reserves the right to suspend or terminate an account upon |
|
evident breach of the Principles of the Soviet, detailed above. |
|
|
|
There are no backups, except for system-related files, so you are on |
|
your own on that front. |
|
|
|
For current users in Zaibatsu and Republic: we are enforcing a |
|
"no-dual-citizenship" policy, meaning that a user can have an account |
|
on only one of the three colonies. This is in the interest of fairness, |
|
and indeed there is no point into having multiple accounts, since the |
|
users of the three colonies share access to the common text-based BBS, |
|
to the internal email system, and to all the software developed in the |
|
wide circumlunar.space system. |
|
|
|
Nevertheless, if you really want to move your account on The Soviet, |
|
the admins will help you migrate your data. |
