Getting Started

Access to the class account via ssh

Have you created ssh keys? If not, create your private and public keys:
% ssh-keygen -t dsa
The public keys of authorized persons are placed in the class accounts by a batch job each night. 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 allocation site. If not, email the academic in charge of teaching allocation (currently Jingling Xue).
- admins: Email the lecturer for your course or the academic in charge of tutor/admin allocation (currently Andrew Taylor) to add you to your course, as supervisor.
Log into your course account
% ssh -Y cs9999@wagner

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@cse.unsw.edu.au).

A typical url for a course website:
http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~cs9999
In the class account, under the public_html directory, create a new session directory for your files (e.g. 12s2) and edit the index.html file.
