Your First
It is: the first 3 letters of your birth month, followed by two numbers for the day of your birth, followed by two numbers for the year of your birth.
Example If you were born on 5/2/82, your initial password would be: may0282
Refer to the General Guidelines sections for assistance with key entry.
Definitions
Logging In is the process of passing through the "security checks" for login and password. If you don't log on properly, you wont be able to access the UNIX system at all. Logging Out with the command exit disconnects you from the system and requires the next user to go through the logging on procedure. If you don't log off, the person sitting down at the terminal after you will be able to access your files: read them, or change or erase them. Please note: There are two (sometimes three) different login procedures you need in order to connect to an HP UNIX account. a login to a generic or to an individual Novell account, sometimes a Windows 2000 login, and the individual login to your HP UNIX Hills account
General guidelines
To use CCSF's HP UNIX, you must have an HP UNIX account. This requires registration in a CIS class or another CCSF class that provides access to UNIX. UNIX is case-sensitive. The initial login/password sequence should be entered entirely in lowercase. If you create a new password with both upper- and lowercase letters, you must enter it exactly the same way each time. If you use the numeric keypad to enter numbers, be certain that the NumLock is on. During the login procedure, the HP UNIX cannot process backspaces. Backspacing while entering the login ID or the password will automatically cause an incorrect login. Entry of login ID and password must be without mistakes. There is a time limit of less than a minute for the login process: if you go too slowly, you may find that youll have to reconnect.
Once you have logged in and the UNIX $ prompt appears on the left of the line, remember UNIX commands are mostly in lowercase. If you get an error message after entering a command, check that you have typed it in lowercase. UNIX is case-sensitive: CAPITAL LETTERS and lower case letters mean different things to UNIX. The command ls (lowercase) is completely different from LS or Ls
Accessing HP UNIX
CIS students using the HP UNIX system can telnet to HP UNIX from Novell workstations in four different areas of the lab: the Ada, Hopper, Jobs, and Turing areas. (Please refer to the map of ICL-1.) It is presently not possible for dial-up users to use the internet browsers available on the Novell Network. Remote users can dial in using (415) 586-7778 with the settings 8 N 1 (8 data bits, No parity bits, 1 stop bit): these are standard for most communications programs. The speed is 56K (max) and the terminal type is vt100. Students getting a host: prompt on dialing in should enter hills. Remote users may also telnet to their hills accounts via their ISP (Internet Service Provider) by using the host address or the IPA (Internet Protocol Address): telnet hills.ccsf.edu or telnet 147.144.1.2 (Dont use ccsf.edu in a telnet command: it will not default to hills server.)
Passwords
You will have to change your HP UNIX password the first time you login to your HP UNIX account. Before you start the login process, consider your new password carefully.
Suggestions Don't use obvious passwords like your first or last names; even words found in the dictionary are not good. Think of a phrase that you can remember; use the first letters of the words (and include at least one number). Examples idw2dt1 Nitt4agm
From the first letters and numbers of the phrase: I don't want to do this one From: (note the use of a capital letter) Now is the time for all good men

Login to Novell
At the login window for the Novell Network, click the mouse to position the cursor in the Username box before typing the login name of the account your instructor has designated for your use. You must get the Username(s) and the Password(s) for the Novell Network from your CIS instructor. Lab personnel are not permitted to distribute this information. If letters you type do not appear on the screen, activate the login window with the Alt/Tab key combination. Novell is not case sensitive. It doesnt matter whether you enter login names or passwords in upper- or lowercase letters. In addition, it invites, and sometimes requires, the use of the mouse. You may login to a different account by typing a different account name in the Username box; or you may login in to the same account whose name might already show in the Username box by just advancing the cursor to the password box.
Use the Tab key to advance to the Password box or click the mouse in the Password box. If necessary, use the Shift/Tab key combination or the mouse to move the cursor from the Password box back up to the Username box. Remove the account name there by highlighting and deleting or by backspacing from the end of the Username. Use the mouse or the Tab key to advance the cursor to the Password box. Type the password. Use the mouse to click OK or just strike the Enter key.

Telnet (EWAN) is the recommended Telnet connection because it supports the control key combinations used with pine, pico, and vi editors. (Even better, look for the SSH Secure Shell icon on the desktop: SSH supports most of the control key combinations, provides better security, and allows easier downloading.)
From the Connect to Site window, strike the Enter key. CAUTION: DONT USE THE MOUSE IN THE UNIX ENVIRONMENT. Once youve logged on to HP UNIX, put the mouse aside and preferably out of reach. Using the mouse within the UNIX environment can be troublesome and unpredictable. Do not resume use of the mouse until you have logged off your HP UNIX account.

Login to HP UNIX
At the Login: prompt, enter your login-name. (See page 1.)

Typing Errors
Watch for the Login incorrect message. The problem could be an unacceptable login or an unacceptable password entry. When the login is incorrect: the login: prompt should reappear after the Wait for login retry: .. message and a short pause. Try again. After a few unsuccessful tries, the Wait for login exit: .. response appears. It means you will need to activate the File menu and select New connection in order to get another login: prompt to appear.
Password Problems
Your first password is based on what someone typed in at registration. When registration makes errors in your birthdate (and it happens often), you have problems logging in. Here are some things to try before giving up when typing in your initial password: Leave out the zero if you have one in your date. Reverse the zero and the other digit in a portion of your date: if you have a 10, try 01; for 09 try 90. If you still don't succeed, lab staff can change your password.

Logging off
It's important to log out when you finish your work: if you don't, anyone can sit down at your terminal, or perhaps stumble into your account left hanging after you have dialed-in, and access any of your files in any way that you can: change your work, erase it, or copy it. Even if no one else finds your account open, your failure to log off might disable your logging in at another unit. Its a lot like leaving your telephone off the hook: callers attempting a connection will get a busy signal. The HP UNIX system might not disconnect your connection for (up to) 4 hours! Make a point of logging off properly at the end of every session: see page 8. Do NOT exit your HP UNIX account (when the current line displays the UNIX $ prompt) by clicking the x button in the upper right corner. Processes might continue to run and cause problems with your next account connection. Once you have exited UNIX, you may resume use of the mouse. If the Telnet window is still open after you exit HP UNIX and see the logout response, use the mouse to click the window closed.
Restarting
Some assignments that students do will alter the Windows 2000 desktop and START menus. If the applications you need are missing or if it is difficult to find your application(s) because the desktop is cluttered with so many files, you should restart the unit: Use the mouse to click the START menu. Use the mouse to select the SHUT DOWN option. Select RESTART from the menu in the SHUT DOWN window. It will take about a minute for the Novell login screen to appear. If you cant get past the Novell Client login screen, click the Shutdown button in the lower right corner of the screen; then select Shutdown and Restart. After the computer restarts, you should be able to login using the username and password provided by the instructor.
These instructions only highlight the logging in and the logging out processes. A more detailed explanation begins on page 5 and includes features of the first-time login.
