setting up your vulcan accounts
This page is to help you setup your vulcan account.
The login for your vulcan account is tied to your UNO Net Id. As long
as you have e-bruno access you can do this yourself. If you don't,
contact ITS. This password is used for lotus, blackboard, etc.
If you forget your password, you can go back and reset it anytime.
Prior to using vulcan the first time, or if you have login problems,
you need to contact the IS&T
systems office ( they are in 356B, and are open 8-5 ).
If you need to set or reset your password, Go to
http://myuno.unomaha.edu
You need to know a few things before you proceed : your NetId username,
your student id number, and your e-bruno pin. If you don't know your
NetId, you can look it up there as well. Once you have these things,
follow the link to "set UNO NetId password". Provide all of the
information required
( actually the username is your netid regardless of what you type ).
You can now ssh to vulcan.ist.unomaha.edu
Make sure you send your ssh client to connect using ssh version
2 of the ssh protocol. You may want to set the terminal type to xterm
or linux. If you have any font problems set it to UTF.
If you need an ssh client for windows
here is a copy of putty
NOTE
mail forwarding
If you want to make your vulcan mail go somewhere else create a file
named ".forward" in your home directory, and put the e-mail address in
the file. Then make the file world readable ( chmod a+r .forward ).
If you want the mail in both places, the ".forward" file needs to look
like this :
\username, address@somewhere.else.net
Note: username is not literal, put your username there
Other Note : the UNO lotus server does not accept forwarded mail.
vim settings
My ".vimrc" is world readable. You can use pieces or copy the whole
thing to your home directory ( cp ~jclark/.vimrc ~/. )
