Just the highlights
Your Login ID is based on your name. It is: the first letter of your first name, followed by the first 5 letters of your last name, followed by two numbers, usually 01 or 02
Example If you were the only Sheryl Razkofsky with an account, your login would be: srazko01 This login is made up of the s in Sheryl, the first 5 letters of Razkofsky, and the digits 01, the first possible combination. Note that THERE ARE NO CAPITAL LETTERS: only lowercase. If Sheryl entered SRazko01 to log in, she would get an error message and would be unable to connect to her account.

(Please see Login Names at CCSF on page 3 for additional explanation regarding the login ID.)

Your First

Password is based on your birthday.

It is: the first 3 letters of your birth month, followed by two numbers for the day of your birth, followed by two numbers for the year of your birth.

Example If you were born on 5/2/82, your initial password would be: may0282

(Please refer to Passwords on page 3 for additional considerations regarding passwords.)

Refer to the General Guidelines sections for assistance with key entry.

HP UNIX 1: Logging in and Logging out

Definitions
ƒ ƒ ƒ Logging In is the process of passing through the "security checks" for login and password. If you don't log on properly, you won’t be able to access the UNIX system at all. Logging Out with the command exit disconnects you from the system and requires the next user to go through the logging on procedure. If you don't log off, the person sitting down at the terminal after you will be able to access your files: read them, or change or erase them. Please note: There are two (sometimes three) different login procedures you need in order to connect to an HP UNIX account. ƒ a login to a generic or to an individual Novell account, ƒ sometimes a Windows 2000 login, and ƒ the individual login to your HP UNIX Hills account

A note ON THE term "<Enter>"
ƒ ƒ During orientations, in class, and in textbooks and manuals you will be asked to "Enter" something. "<Enter>" means "Type the material in; then strike the Enter key. When you are at the prompt you must hit <Enter> after you type in a command to the system. <Enter> actually sends the line you have typed to be processed.

General guidelines
ƒ To use CCSF's HP UNIX, you must have an HP UNIX account. This requires registration in a CIS class or another CCSF class that provides access to UNIX. UNIX is case-sensitive. The initial login/password sequence should be entered entirely in lowercase. If you create a new password with both upper- and lowercase letters, you must enter it exactly the same way each time. If you use the numeric keypad to enter numbers, be certain that the NumLock is on. During the login procedure, the HP UNIX cannot process backspaces. Backspacing while entering the login ID or the password will automatically cause an incorrect login. Entry of login ID and password must be without mistakes. There is a time limit of less than a minute for the login process: if you go too slowly, you may find that you’ll have to reconnect.

Throughout the LOGIN and PASSWORD CHANGE procedures, remember ƒ

ƒ ƒ ƒ

Once you have logged in and the UNIX $ prompt appears on the left of the line, remember ƒ UNIX commands are mostly in lowercase. If you get an error message after entering a command, check that you have typed it in lowercase. UNIX is case-sensitive: CAPITAL LETTERS and lower case letters mean different things to UNIX. The command ls (lowercase) is completely different from LS or Ls

ƒ

Accessing HP UNIX
ƒ CIS students using the HP UNIX system can telnet to HP UNIX from Novell workstations in four different areas of the lab: the Ada, Hopper, Jobs, and Turing areas. (Please refer to the map of ICL-1.) It is presently not possible for dial-up users to use the internet browsers available on the Novell Network. Remote users can dial in using (415) 586-7778 with the settings 8 N 1 (8 data bits, No parity bits, 1 stop bit): these are standard for most communications programs. The speed is 56K (max) and the terminal type is vt100. Students getting a host: prompt on dialing in should enter hills. Remote users may also telnet to their hills accounts via their ISP (Internet Service Provider) by using the host address or the IPA (Internet Protocol Address): telnet hills.ccsf.edu or telnet 147.144.1.2 (Don’t use ccsf.edu in a telnet command: it will not default to hills server.)

HP UNIX 1: Logging in and Logging out

Login names at CCSF
When you sign up for a class that provides HP UNIX use, you are assigned a login. Except for a few exceptional cases, your login is based on your name following the format on page 1. ƒ To prevent duplicate logins, the two numbers at the end of the login can range from 01 to 99. Following the login example on page 1, if there were a Sulim Razkofsky, his login might be srazko02 or srazko03, or even srazko12, depending on how many other students had the same initial six letters. ƒ Your instructor (or a faculty monitor or an information systems administrator) can look up your login ID for you. It’s impossible to guess the two digits at the end, especially if you have a common name like Wong, Nguyen, or Jones. ƒ If you have problems with your login name, check with your instructor to make sure that your name appears on the class list as an officially registered student. ƒ Your login name does not change unless your name or your student ID change.

Passwords
You will have to change your HP UNIX password the first time you login to your HP UNIX account. Before you start the login process, consider your new password carefully.

Why you Need a Password
ƒ ƒ ƒ ƒ A password is part of security: for you and for the system. A password protects your work. If your password is known or easily determined, other people could use your account to steal, damage, or erase your work, or even to get you in trouble. Make your password hard for others to guess. (See the next section for suggestions.) Make up a password that you can remember. (If you MUST, write it down, but don't make it obvious.) The first password is assigned to your account. The format is given on page 1.

Rules for Passwords at CCSF
ƒ ƒ ƒ ƒ Passwords must be 6 to 10 characters long. They must contain at least 2 letters and one number; no spaces. Don’t use characters that have special meaning in UNIX, like: * ? / \ ! New passwords must differ from current passwords by at least 3 positions.

Suggestions ƒ Don't use obvious passwords like your first or last names; even words found in the dictionary are not good. ƒ Think of a phrase that you can remember; use the first letters of the words (and include at least one number). Examples ƒ idw2dt1 ƒ Nitt4agm

From the first letters and numbers of the phrase: I don't want to do this one From: (note the use of a capital letter) Now is the time for all good men

HP UNIX 1: Logging in and Logging out

Changing your Password after your First Login
When you log in to your HP UNIX account the first time, you’ll be required to change your password. (This is explained in detail on pages 5-7.) The system will require you to change your password approximately every 100 days. However, you may change your password at any time if you follow these steps: ƒ At the $ prompt (the UNIX prompt), enter the command: passwd ƒ The system responds: Changing password for <login> and prompts for the Old password: ƒ Enter your current password (for security purposes) ƒ The prompt New password: appears. ƒ You have approximately 60 seconds to enter your new password, or the system might end the process. ƒ Enter new password (see rules below) ƒ When the prompt Re-enter new password: appears, enter your new password again to confirm it. ƒ If you mistype your new password either time you'll have to start over again. ƒ If you get an error message such as: Password is too short — must be at least 6 characters you will also have to start over. ƒ If you make repeated mistakes, the system may kick you out of the passwd sequence with the message: Too many failures — try later.

If you Forget your Password
If you have photo identification, like a driver’s license, a faculty monitor or an information systems administrator in ICL-1 can reset your password whenever the lab is open.

HP UNIX 1: Logging in and Logging out

The first time login process in detail
1: Opening menu/other screens
Look for the Novell login screen: a rectangle in the middle of the screen display. The upper portion of the rectangle is red and is labeled Novell Client for Windows. The lower portion has Username and Password boxes for login entries. ƒ If the screen displays another application and the unit is not in use, click the x button in the upper righthand corner to close the window and return to the desktop. ƒ If the screen displays a desktop, exit the Windows 2000 desktop and logoff. (Refer to the section on page 8: Logging off).

2:

Login to Novell
ƒ At the login window for the Novell Network, click the mouse to position the cursor in the Username box before typing the login name of the account your instructor has designated for your use. You must get the Username(s) and the Password(s) for the Novell Network from your CIS instructor. Lab personnel are not permitted to distribute this information. If letters you type do not appear on the screen, activate the login window with the Alt/Tab key combination. Novell is not case sensitive. It doesn’t matter whether you enter login names or passwords in upper- or lowercase letters. In addition, it invites, and sometimes requires, the use of the mouse. You may login to a different account by typing a different account name in the Username box; or you may login in to the same account whose name might already show in the Username box by just advancing the cursor to the password box.
ƒ

ƒ ƒ ƒ ƒ ƒ

Use the Tab key to advance to the Password box or click the mouse in the Password box. If necessary, use the Shift/Tab key combination or the mouse to move the cursor from the Password box back up to the Username box. Remove the account name there by highlighting and deleting or by backspacing from the end of the Username. Use the mouse or the Tab key to advance the cursor to the Password box. Type the password. Use the mouse to click OK or just strike the Enter key.

3:

Open a Telnet Connection
ƒ ƒ Wait a minute for the Windows 2000 desktop to appear. Read and respond to any messages that might come up. If you are logging into an individual Novell account for the first time, the Novell Network will ask you to change your Novell password at this time. ICL-1 recommends your giving both of your individual accounts the same personalized password. ƒ ƒ Strike the Escape key or click the Close button to close any windows or dialogue boxes that might appear. When the desktop appears, double-click the EWAN Telnet icon on the desktop; OR, if the shortcut is not available: ƒ ƒ ƒ ƒ click the Start button on the taskbar; click on the Programs selection; click on the EWAN_winsock Telnet selection; click on EWAN.

Telnet (EWAN) is the recommended Telnet connection because it supports the control key combinations used with pine, pico, and vi editors. (Even better, look for the SSH Secure Shell icon on the desktop: SSH supports most of the control key combinations, provides better security, and allows easier downloading.)

ƒ

From the Connect to Site window, strike the Enter key. CAUTION: DON’T USE THE MOUSE IN THE UNIX ENVIRONMENT. Once you’ve logged on to HP UNIX, put the mouse aside and preferably out of reach. Using the mouse within the UNIX environment can be troublesome and unpredictable. Do not resume use of the mouse until you have logged off your HP UNIX account.

4:

Login to HP UNIX
At the Login: prompt, enter your login-name. (See page 1.)

5:

Your First Time Password
ƒ ƒ ƒ Enter your assigned initial password. (See page 1.) The PASSWORD DOESN'T SHOW ON SCREEN. Don't panic—the system really is receiving it. Do it quickly: you might be logged out if you take more than 60 seconds.

Typing Errors
Watch for the “Login incorrect message”. The problem could be an unacceptable login or an unacceptable password entry. When the login is incorrect: the login: prompt should reappear after the “Wait for login retry: ..” message and a short pause. Try again. After a few unsuccessful tries, the “Wait for login exit: .. “ response appears. It means you will need to activate the File menu and select New connection in order to get another login: prompt to appear.

Password Problems
Your first password is based on what someone typed in at registration. When registration makes errors in your birthdate (and it happens often), you have problems logging in. Here are some things to try before giving up when typing in your initial password: ƒ Leave out the zero if you have one in your date. ƒ Reverse the zero and the other digit in a portion of your date: if you have a 10, try 01; for 09 try 90. ƒ If you still don't succeed, lab staff can change your password.

6:

Change to your own password
ƒ ƒ ƒ ƒ ƒ ƒ ƒ ƒ At this point, a student logging in for the first time is forced to customize his or her password. If the new password is not entered within approximately 60 seconds, you might be forced to start over. To start the process, the system wants to confirm your identity with the prompt: Old password: Enter the current password (the birthdate) again. Then, you will see the prompt: Enter new password: After first entry, a second prompt will ask you to Re-enter the password, to check spelling. If the passwords don't match, the re-entry sequence will start again. If you re-enter a new password incorrectly too many times, you will get the message: Too many failures — try later.

7:

Set the terminal type
For most student accounts, setting the terminal type is automatic. If the UNIX $ prompt does not appear: ƒ ƒ ƒ The displayed line will be: TERM: (vt100) or another TERM line. The bracketed suggestion, vt100, is the default and should work. Press <Enter> to accept it. (This sets the TERM environment variable and defines the terminal emulation to be used.) The $ prompt indicates that you have successfully logged into the system.

Logging off
It's important to log out when you finish your work: if you don't, anyone can sit down at your terminal, or perhaps stumble into your account left hanging after you have dialed-in, and access any of your files in any way that you can: change your work, erase it, or copy it. Even if no one else finds your account open, your failure to log off might disable your logging in at another unit. It’s a lot like leaving your telephone off the hook: callers attempting a connection will get a busy signal. The HP UNIX system might not disconnect your connection for (up to) 4 hours! Make a point of logging off properly at the end of every session: see page 8. Do NOT exit your HP UNIX account (when the current line displays the UNIX $ prompt) by clicking the x button in the upper right corner. Processes might continue to run and cause problems with your next account connection. Once you have exited UNIX, you may resume use of the mouse. If the Telnet window is still open after you exit HP UNIX and see the logout response, use the mouse to click the window closed.

Restarting
Some assignments that students do will alter the Windows 2000 desktop and START menus. If the applications you need are missing or if it is difficult to find your application(s) because the desktop is cluttered with so many files, you should restart the unit: ƒ ƒ ƒ ƒ Use the mouse to click the START menu. Use the mouse to select the SHUT DOWN option. Select RESTART from the menu in the SHUT DOWN window. It will take about a minute for the Novell login screen to appear. If you can’t get past the Novell Client login screen, click the Shutdown button in the lower right corner of the screen; then select Shutdown and Restart. After the computer restarts, you should be able to login using the username and password provided by the instructor.

Just the highlights

Logging in to HP UNIX in ICL-1
1: Login to the Novell account your instructor told you to use. ƒ Type the name of the Novell account in the Username box. ƒ Tab to the Password box; enter the Novell password your instructor gave you. 2: Some users will also have to login to Windows 2000. ƒ In the Name box, type the Windows 2000 name your instructor gave you. ƒ Tab to the Password box; enter the Windows 2000 password. 3: Open a telnet connection. ƒ Double-click the EWAN Telnet icon on the Desktop. ƒ From the Connect to Site window, strike the Enter key to initiate a connection to the HP UNIX Hills Server. 4: Login to HP UNIX. ƒ At the login prompt, enter your login name. ƒ At the password prompt, enter your password. Lowercase only. NumLock on. No backspacing. (See General Guidelines. page 2.) ƒ Login is accomplished when the $ prompt appears.

Logging off of HP UNIX in ICL-1
Logging out of your UNIX account is necessary for maintaining its security. Logging off the Novell System is necessary for network operations. 1: Exit UNIX and the telnet window when you have finished workng. ƒ At the UNIX $ prompt, enter the command exit. If the logout response displays but the Telnet window does not close, click the x button in the upper right corner. (It’s okay to use the mouse now.) 2: Close the Windows desktop properly and log off the Novell Network: ƒ Click the Start button on the taskbar. ƒ Near the bottom of the START menu, select Logoff <account in use>. If you select the ShutDown option by mistake, click the Cancel button. ƒ Click the Yes button or strike the Enter key to log off when the dialog box asks: “Are you sure you want to log off?” After a minute, the red-banded Novell Client login window will display, ready for the next login.
