Linux Workstation Changes 3/09

In Elder, Hering Labs and Available Remotely

Because of a request by the Engineering Student Council, CSS has made the Linux workstations in the Elder and Hering labs single-user machines. To emphasize that those workstations can be used only by the person sitting at and logged into the machine in the lab, those machine names are LNX-100 through LNX-115. The /var/tmp directory is available on each LNX-1xx machine, but because there is no remote login via ssh, if you use /var/tmp, you will need to sit at the same computer to use files stored there. Else put files you want access to from any other computer in your home directory.

The Linux workstations that were in the Elder and Hering labs until 3/16/09 were moved to the CSS machine room. Those Linux machines continue to be multi-user machines available via ssh, and they are still named LNX-000 through LNX-015. You can ssh to the specific machine you want to use, perhaps because you have stored files in /var/tmp. Because no one can actually sit in front of those machines, the USB drives and CD/DVD drives are not be available.
