Class accounts for the computer lab

Class Accounts

Your login name will be of the form c-azbc, where `a’,`b’,`c’ are

your last, first, and middle initial, respectively and `z’ is the last
letter in your last name. For example, if your name is Ulysses
Attila Eratosthenes, your login name will be c-esua. (Many
people have the same initials, to ensure your login name is unique, a
digit may be added after the initials, eg. c-esua1,
c-esua2, …). For people with more complex (eg. hyphenated names)
only the first character of each name is used.

Passwords

Your initial password will be the letters as in the login name,

followed by the last four digits of your University ID number (e.g.,
if your UID is 123456789 and your login name is c-esua, then
your password is esua6789) or if the login name is c-esua2
the password is still esua6789).

Upon first logging in you should change your password. To do so, log

in, type ``passwd’’ (followed by RETURN), if there is a problem here
try typing ``passwd’’ followed by your username (eg. ``passwd
c-esua’’). Next type your old password (the one you used to login),
and then type your new desired password twice as instructed. Your new
password is effective within 30 minutes. If you forget your password,
request a new one (from the Lab Assistant). Your password must
consist of at least 6 characters (upper and lower case letters, and
digits). You should take care to choose one that is very difficult to
guess, and keep it to yourself!
