Unix

Behind the screen on the remote machine ixtab.edu.isy.liu.se works CentOS.
Your personal files is located in your home directory.

Important to notice is the procedure when you log on to ixtab. You will have to use ssh which is the only remote client allowed. Then you will be presented with the UNIX prompt and have to control the computer by using commands.

This happens when you:

Log on remote

The computer starts up the system by reading your '.cshrc' file. It then continues by reading your '.login' file.

A word of warning is that you have to be very sure of what you are doing when you change your system files, if you're not, then don't. If your system files are not working properly this can result in difficulties when logging in.

If your system refuses logging in, an error in the system files can be suspected. Then choose the Options>>Sessions>>Failsafe item on the login-screen, login and correct the error.
