CS Linux Lab, cis 237
The Linux Lab includes 21 Linux workstations along with an instructor's machine connected to an overhead projector. All workstations are connected to the Linux servers and to the campus network.
The lab machines require a valid username and password to log on. These are not the same as the campus or email names and passwords—the Linux servers form a separate network (although attached to the campus net) and require a different set of usernames and passwords. This information is distributed by instructors or by the Linux Lab administrator, Lisa Schermerhorn in CIS 240A.To acquire an account, students must sign the user agreement (see the sidebar at the right). Download it, sign it, and return to your instructor or to Lisa.
