RFC 518
ARPANET accounts
ARPANET ACCOUNTS 🎀
Okay bestie, so this is RFC 518 🦋 and it was written by N. Vaughan (UCSB-MOD75) and J. Feinler (SRI-ARC), with NIC number 16817. It's dated 19 June 1973 📅. The title block doesn't list a category, and it doesn't obsolete or update anything. 💅
It exists because people kept asking how to get an account at a given site on the ARPAnet 🧚 Here's the send-off info, verbatim:
JAKE/kkIf you've got changes or additions, send them to Jake Feinler before July 15, 1973 so they make it into the next Resource Notebook (NIC 6740) ✨. The ident is JAKE for the NIC journal, and the sndmsg address is FEINLER@SRI-ARC. 💌
