Logging in to the CADE lab1 machines remotely is easy: FROM A LINUX MACHINE: - open a terminal window - type 'ssh -X username@lab1-N.eng.utah.edu' N is a number from 1-48 (these are the 48 lab1 machines that you can use for your homework) the -X argument tells ssh to use X11 forwarding, this is so that you can open graphical windows remotely, such as an emacs window - you will be asked for your password, now you're logged in as if your terminal were running on a physical lab1 machine. FROM A WINDOWS MACHINE: - you will need a program called putty, which can be found at: http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe if you are in the engman lab or the CS windows lab, putty is already installed - run putty - under session, type 'username@lab1-N.eng.utah.edu' N is a number from 1-48 (these are the 48 lab1 machines that you can use for your homework) - you can save the session so you don't have to type it next time, or just connect - the first time, you will be asked if you want to permanently add an RSA key to the list, click yes. - you will be asked for your password, now you're logged in as if your putty terminal were running on a physical lab1 machine. Note for windows machines: if you are in the engman lab or the CS windows lab, you should run exceed before running putty. Go to start->programs->hummingbird->exceed. This program runs in the background, and allows graphical windows to be displayed remotely. If you do not have exceed, you can still run all the programs you need to do your homework. For a non-graphical emacs window, type 'emacs -nw filename' -nw stands for now window, and emacs will run in the terminal. If you are not used to programming without an IDE, you should become familiar with emacs. There is a tutorial at: http://www.hsrl.rutgers.edu/ug/emacs_tutorial.html
