Logging In

CSE has the following instructional Linux machines:

• fiji
• ceylon
• sumatra
• tahiti

You can get access to them in any of the following ways:

• Connect to an instructional Linux machine via Windows NT in Sieg 329 or 232 using Reflection X from WRQ software.
• To connect to a server, you will need to use SSH Telnet. To get SSH telnet, we recommend using the UWICK package from C&C. Information about getting it can be found here .

If you need to get an account on these machines because you are a nonmajor, then go to the following web page:
