| Student Workstations | 3 tower computing in the NDS room | We now have three Ubuntu workstations in the NDS room. These are available for general use by anyone who needs them. On the logon screen, there are a list of defined personal accounts, and a guest account. The guest account can be used by anyone, but settings and data are not saved from session to session. From ITS: > You are correct it is using Kerberos, however, unfortunately each > user must be added individually to the machine. If you could get us > a list of users that will be using the machine(s) we can add them to > the appropriate machines. Request that your account be added to those machines by sending an email to help+its@ncsa.illinois.edu. |
