Computing Information for Visitors
Your account
A Linux account on the server enna
will be set up for you. You will be asked to nominate a password
(different from passwords you use elsewhere).
The Linux account is accessible from all office Y-terminals by
selecting the item enna in the menu of hosts.
There is a Y-terminal suitable for visitors in room 612, just to the
right of the door; or maybe use one of the terminals in the
"honours students" room 729/730.
Your account and any remaining files will be deleted shortly after your
departure date.
WiFi wireless
Wireless networks are operated by central ICT (not by Maths support), please
see
www.maths.usyd.edu.au/s/lscnitm/psz-WirelessForVisitors
Wired network
If you have a laptop or other computer (including ICT-managed PCs and
Macs) and it has an RJ-45 UTP Ethernet port, it may be possible to
provide a connection for it in your office (on our internal School
network), please ask if interested: please see
www.maths.usyd.edu.au/s/scnitm/psz-Laptops-WirelessAndWiredC
about some setup. (You need to set automatic network address recognition
via DHCP, and set web browsers to use direct access i.e. no
proxies. The connection is behind a
transparent proxy
firewall).
SSH access
You may access your Linux account on enna via ssh, with
plain password from the School internal wired network, or with 2-factor
authentication (e.g. from "home" or from a wireless connection): see
www.maths.usyd.edu.au/u/psz/ssh-howto.html
