Hi,

   You have an account on the D'Agents group machines which are located
in lab 007 in the Sudikoff building.  The names of the machines are
agent1, solitaire, shasta, and mayday.  They are all running RedHat 
Linux 6.2 (except Shasta which is running RH 7.3).  Your user name and 
password should be the same as those for your Computer Science account.  
   The disks are backed up at least once a week.  There is 
also a disk to disk backup made at around 2am each night that
you can access yourself at /u1/backup/home/<username> if you ever
accidentally delete a file you need.  Don't use this area to 
store new files though, since they will be overwritten each night.
There is a CD-R writer available on agent1 that can be accessed
via the program xcdroast (you may have to ask us to add permissions
to your account to use it.)  We insist that you use SSH
and SCP for remote access instead of ftp and telnet (see

   http://agent.cs.dartmouth.edu/internal/sshguide.html

for a guide to using ssh.)  A Mac version of ssh and scp is available
for free at:

   http://www.lysator.liu.se/~jonasw/freeware/niftyssh/

and versions for other OS's are available for free at:

   http://www.ssh.com
   (click on their "noncommercial" button in the store, Mac version
   might be available from them soon.)

We use NIS to maintain a password database so use yppasswd
instead of the passwd command to change your password.
The default shell is bash.  If you'd like another email me.
If you have any trouble getting in or using your account please 
let me (rapjr@cs.dartmouth.edu) know.
