the Fourth of July, use 04, not 4.)
If one of your names has fewer than three letters, just
use the letters you have - no extras are required.If
our fake user was registered as F. Bloggs his login
name would be blof21
Your login name is created from the information you
gave Registration & Records. You may need to check
what name you used when you registered. If Registration
has inaccurate information, your account will not be
created correctly.
The first time you log in, you'll be forced to change
your password. Instructions are available in the Computer
Center.
As a member of the Evergreen
community, all you need to do is contact the Linux
Administrator. If your program will be using Linux
accounts, most likely your faculty has already requested
one be created for you.
Linux and NT logins and passwords
are the same, so figure out your NT login and password
as described above and you've got it.
To change your Linux password use
the yppasswd command. This
command is different from the passwd command
in that it sets the password across the network. The
passwd command will only set the password
for the current server, this will not allow login with
the new password.
