Welcome to the IoA/RGO Sun Cluster
==================================

You are free to use any machine in the Hoyle or RGO Common Terminal
areas - they are all clustered and all files are accessible everywhere.

Your account has been set up with some basic dot files. Feel free to
modify or scrap them if you wish.

DON'T simply copy someone else's setup; you will often find that
they've managed to stop something important from working

Important notes:
----------------

Please change your password when logged into cass26 or cass27
command : passwd

Our email address is ast.cam.ac.uk - mail is accessible from the
whole cluster

You have a file called mbox in your home directory.  DO NOT DELETE THIS FILE.
It contains all your incoming mail and you will lose it if you delete this file.


The fvwm2 window manager will start automatically on an
Xterminal. On a machine console type startx or openwindows to begin a
windows session.

If you wish to edit your .fvwm2rc file (to control the window manager) you will need to copy the file /opt/X11R6/lib/fvwm2/.fvwm2rc to ~/.fvwm2rc
On the Linux machines this file is in /etc/X11/fvwm2/system.fvwm2rc and 
the corresponding fvwm95-2 file is /etc/X11/fvwm95-2/fvwm2rc95

The enviromental variables used are
HOSTS     : Machines of the cluster which you may access

Please add your personal aliases in .mytcshrc

We recommend using pine for reading mail, netscape for accessing the web pages
and emacs as an editor.

We have a helpdesk that may be accessed using the command 'servdesk' when logged
onto cass26 or by emailing 'servdesk@ast.cam.ac.uk' with a description of the
problem.

Use servdesk if you have any problems with your account.
