Getting Started

Class account

Access via SSH

Have you created ssh keys? If not, create your private and public keys:
% ssh-keygen
The public keys of authorized persons are placed in the class accounts by a batch job each night. This means it will be tomorrow before your public key is added to the class account. Only people with lecturer or supervisor membership are authorized to ssh into their class accounts. The command below shows your memberships:
% acc
If acc shows that you are not a member,
- lecturers: Check that you are allocated to your course on the Teaching Allocations. If not, email <teachadmin AT SPAMFREE cse DOT unsw DOT edu DOT au>
- admins: Email the lecturer for your course. The lecturer should then email <teachadmin AT SPAMFREE cse DOT unsw DOT edu DOT au> to add you to your course, as supervisor.
Log into your course account:
% ssh -Y cs9999@login.cse.unsw.edu.au

If you are correctly allocated to your course as indicated on the allocation files and if you have previously created your keys, you should be able to log into your class account. If not, you can email system support <ss AT SPAMFREE cse DOT unsw DOT edu DOT au>.

Course websites

A typical url for a course website: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~cs9999

In the class account, under the public_html directory, create/edit the index.html file and create a new term (e.g. 20T3) directory for your files.
