15-462 Computer Graphics I
Lab Instructions

To setup your account so that you can log into the machines in the graphics cluster, follow these steps.

1. In your Andrew home directory in AFS, make a directory called 15-462.

   cd /afs/andrew/usr/<user>
   mkdir 15-462

2. Change to the new directory.

   cd 15-462

3. In the new directory set the access rights for system:campusnet to rl. This can be done with

   fs sa . system:campusnet rl

   Note that the directory 15-462 must be readable by everyone, so do not store assignment-related files there!
4. In that directory create a file called .klogin which contains only the line

   <user>@ANDREW.CMU.EDU

5. Create another file called .login which contains all commands to be be called during login. Two lines that would be convenient to have in there would be

   kinit <user>@ANDREW.CMU.EDU
   aklog andrew.cmu.edu

   they will get the required Kerberos and Andrew tickets.
6. when logging into one of the machines your login ID will be

   <user>@ANDREW.CMU.EDU

   and your password will be your normal Andrew password.

Remember to read-protect your assignment directory!
