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!
