What is the format of the NetID?
To make them easy to remember, NetID is based on your name. However,
since some names are very common, the algorithm used had to make allowances
for that, since each NetID must be unique to a specific person. Specifically,
NetID is your first initial plus up to 7 characters from your last name.
If the result is ambiguous (ie, not unique) then for names shorter than
8 characters, append a digit. For names that would use the full 8 characters,
drop the last character and replace it with a digit (start at 2 and count
up). If more digits are needed to make the ID unique, drop one more character
to the left and continue.
Example NetIDs:
| jsmith |
kbergema |
jdoe |
| jsmith9 |
kbergem1 |
jdoe2 |
| jsmith11 |
kberge10 |
jdoe999 |

Can I change my NetID password?

My NetID is not synchronized anymore. How did that happen?
Users with @mail.rochester.edu can break the synchronization of
their mail and NetID passwords by two methods.
(1) Eudora users who change their password using Eudora's change
password feature will change their password on mail.rochester.edu
account but not for their NetID.
(2) Users who change their passwords by connecting to
mail.rochester.edu via an SSH connection.
