Often it seems convenient (and tempting) to share your computer account
password with someone else -- for example, so they can use your files.

While this may be quick and easy, it is forbidden by the computer use
policies of the University, and may lead to loss of access to computing
resources.  There is always a way to accomplish your legitimate goals
without sharing your password; it may take a bit more time and thought,
but this will protect you and your computer account.

I have included excerpts from the "Guidelines for Use of C&C Computer
and Network Resources" below, along with the full web address in case
you want more details.  

DON'T SHARE YOUR PASSWORD!  

Thank you, -Mike Ramey

           Guidelines for Use of C&C Computer and Network Resources
     _________________________________________________________________
                                      
   SUMMARY
   
   Your use of UW Computing & Communications computing and networking
   resources is governed by:
     * Extensive federal and state law and policy
     * Internet acceptable use practices
     * University of Washington policy
     * Computing & Communications (C&C) policy

   ...

    Accounts Guidelines
    
   Once you create an account on any C&C computer, you are responsible
   for any and all use made of that account. Accounts are granted for you
   to use for your work or study at the university.
   
     DO NOT use easy-to-guess passwords.
     
     DO change your password frequently and protect it.
     
     DO NOT share your login name or password or allow someone else to
     create an account in your name.
     
     DO NOT type your password while someone is watching.
     
     DO NOT attempt to crack, capture, or use other users' passwords,
     not even for a joke.
     
     DO NOT create or maintain a file of passwords for any system or
     network on C&C computers.

   ...     
   
   ENFORCEMENT
   
   If you violate any of the C&C computer and network use policies you
   are subject to loss of access to computing resources as well as to
   university disciplinary and/or legal action.
