Claim your account! |
There are a couple of things you have to do to claim your account. Otherwise, you will be locked out within two weeks of the distribution of these accounts. |
||
|
This tells you how to set up your account: change the password, the user name on your account and much more. |
|||
|
Change User Name |
You must change the user name for your account. Currently, it is something like "Unassigned ...". If you do not change the name, it is assumed that the account is unclaimed. The process is explained in the Account Guide. If you don't want to read the guide and you know IRIX, type the following in a terminal window: ypchpass -f "Your Full Name" where you would put your actual name between the quotes. |

Please note the newly instituted rule on screen locks: they have been disabled and you are not allowed to install and use your own screen locks. |

MacOS X Computers |
Your
Group 800 account is valid on public MacOS X
computers. There is one each in CE312 (Bottom) and
CE314 (Bushy). The
iMac in CE314 has an open account for public use.
The Mac application for file transfer is
Fugu. You
must set up your account for MacOS X. On either
Bottom or Bushy, log in and open a terminal. You
can use the terminal supplied by the X11 server (in
the Utilities folder). Type the following
command: This
command copies the hidden file named ".cshrc" in
the home directory of the user named "owner" into
your home directory. This will take effect at the
next login. |

Remote Access |
The Firewall (which is managed by the Institute and is outside our control) restricts access to our computers from outside the Cherry Emerson building. |
||
|
Termination |
Soon after the end of the of modeling class, your files will disappear and your account will be deleted. This is the only warning you will get. You must get a Group 900 account and transfer your files to this account before the extermination of Group 800 accounts. No extension of a Group 800 account will be granted. |
