The accounts are on machines which run variants of the Unix operating system. Prerequisite reading for this document is the general information about the MFCF student environment. All undergraduate math students have accounts on a set of machines known collectively as student.math. Where to Go Most of the terminal rooms are on the 3rd floor of the Math building. Some are on the 6th floor.
Some rooms contain workstations as well.
A small number of express terminals offer only telnet login for quick service. Students logging in to any student.math machine will always be connected to the single copy of their private home directory stored on a fileserver. None of the other student.math machines have personal files stored on them. The initial login may be to a workstation or a machine serving an X-terminal. Home directories are accessible on these systems as well.
