Class account

Access via SSH

• Have you created ssh keys? If not, create your private and public keys:

  % ssh-keygen

• Put the keys in the default location ~/.ssh

• The public keys of authorized persons are placed in the class accounts by a batch job each night. This means it will be tomorrow before your public key is added to the class account. Only people with lecturer or supervisor membership are authorized to ssh into their class accounts. The command below shows your memberships:

  % acc

  If acc shows that you are not a member,

  • lecturers: Check that you are allocated to your course on the Teaching Allocations. If not, email teachadmin@cse.unsw.edu.au

  • admins: Email the lecturer for your course. The lecturer should then email teachadmin@cse.unsw.edu.au to add you as course admin.

• Log into your course account:

  % ssh -Y cs9999@login.cse.unsw.edu.au

If you are correctly allocated to your course as indicated on the allocation files and if you have previously created your keys, you should be able to log into your class account. If not, you can email system support ss@cse.unsw.edu.au.
