How can I get a computer account? How can I get a computer account?If the account is required by a CSC or CPE class your intructor may have already requested one for you. Talk to your instructor first. If you are a CSC/CPE student and need a computer account not required by a class there is a form to fill out in 14-235. The forms are also online. If you have any trouble talk to the lab monitor. How can I create my own web page?See the web page HOWTO I get too much spam! What can I do?Once spammers get ahold of your email address there is not much you can do to prevent them from sending email to you. You can filter your email before you read it. Have a look at our spamassassin page. I hate tcsh. Can I get a different shell?On Falcon, Hornet, Espresso, and any Counties machine you can change your shell with this command: > passwd -r nis -e On Waldorf on Pesto, you need to ask a system administrator to change your shell. Ask the lab monitor to point you in the right direction. Can I get a UNIX group created for a class project?UNIX groups will no longer be created for class projects. If you have a directory that must be readable and writeable to members of your group and nobody else use access control lists. The following commands will make the directory "group_project" readable and writeable to "member1", and "member2". Other people will have no permission. > chmod 700 group_project > setfacl -m user:member1:rwx,user:member2:rwx,mask:rwx group_project Can I get some software installed on the lab computers?It certainly doesn't hurt to ask. Depending on the complexity of the software you need installed and the educational value of that software we may be able to.
