To sign up for an account on the new server, you can fill in the form
below to generate an email for Jeffrey that contains all the necessary
information. (If you prefer to generate the passwd entry on your own, follow
the instructions below.)

information to Jeffrey at jeff-newsaccountrequest@litech.org:
Your email address, crypted password, and full name in the form
username:crypted_passwd:full name
For example

A brief justification for giving you access. Anyone with a current
or past Penn affiliation can request an account.
