Web Tools for Crab Users

Manage Your NetID (Account)

• Create a NetID - creates both a NetID and a computer account needed for email, public labs, and other services.  On the next page, select the link for Camden Faculty and Staff (crab).
• NetID/Password Management - Change your password and manage your secret questions for resetting a forgotten password.  When prompted for a username, DO NOT enter @crab, or @camden, just enter your NetID. All passwords have a maximum length of 8 characters.
• Reset Forgotten Password - Please DO NOT use this tool if you know your current password. To use this tool you must either know the answers to your secret questions or have a support key from the Camden Computing Services Help Desk.  You can contact the Help Desk at (856)225-6274 or via email at help@camden.rutgers.edu.

Manage Your Rutgers-Camden Email Account

• Setup Mail Forwarding - Have any email sent to your Rutgers account automatically forwarded to an alternate email account.  When prompted for a username, DO NOT enter @crab, or @camden, just enter your NetID.
• Control Spam Filtering - Configure spam filtering for your Rutgers email account. When prompted for a username, DO NOT enter @crab, or @camden, just enter your NetID.
• Control Vacation Auto-Reply - Configure and enable/disable automatic replies to messages sent to your Rutgers email account, to alert people that you are not reading email while away. When prompted for a username, DO NOT enter @crab, or @camden, just enter your NetID.

Manage Your Rutgers-Camden Computer Account

• Check Your Account Quota - this tool displays the current and maximum storage space allocated to your crab account.  This storage space is used to hold your H: drive and your Rutgers email. When prompted for a username, DO NOT enter @crab, or @camden, just enter your NetID.
• Web Site Permissions - this tool will set all the permissions inside your public_html directory on crab to be world-readable.  This will make the contents of public_html accessible via the web. When prompted for a username, DO NOT enter @crab, or @camden, just enter your NetID.
• Secure File Permissions - this tool will increase the security of files and directories in your crab account (H: drive) by setting the permissions so that only you can read or write to them. This DOES NOT include files and directories in the public_html directory. When prompted for a username, DO NOT enter @crab, or @camden, just enter your NetID.
• Change Your Unix Shell - typically only useful for experienced Unix users. This tool allows you to switch between various shells (csh, ksh, bash, tcsh).  If you don't know what any of this means, you probably don't need to use this tool.
• Change Your GECOS Information - also typically only useful for experienced Unix users.  This tool allows you to edit your GECOS (also called finger) information.  If you don't know what any of this means, you probably don't need to use this tool, either.
