Access via SSH

  • Have you created ssh keys? If not, create your private and public keys:

  • 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 allocations site. If not, email the academic in charge of teaching allocation (currently John Shepherd).

    • admins: Email the lecturer for your course or the academic in charge of casual tutor/admin allocations (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).
