CNS e-mail, computer accounts

• Computer account: Ask a friend to forward your account request to the person in charge of the system, specifying the desired userID. You will be able to log onto any CNS linux machine as userID. Only secure shell is accepted for external logins:
  
  
  ssh gtID@ssh.physics.gatech.edu

  This gets you inside the School of Physics firewall. Alternatively, you might find using VPN more convenient. The next step is to then

  ssh userID@zero.physics.gatech.edu

  That gives you access to your email on cns network. If you instead

  ssh userID@yourComputer.physics.gatech.edu

  you also have access to your own Linux box's hard disk /scr/userID partition.

• Georgia Tech e-mail account:

  If you employed by Georgia Tech for a longer stretch, go to OIT (Office of Information Technology) to get a Georgia Tech email account, Your.Name@physics.gatech.edu and aName@gatech.edu.

  
  
  
  • VERY IMPORTANT: As soon as you get your Social Security Number make sure to give it to OIT (if they do not get it they will close down your account after 40 days, without any further notice!) but also most importantly to OHR.
