Chapter 14: Frequently asked questions 14.56.3 How do international students pay? 14.56.4 When should a commencing international student arrive? 14.57 System Help 14.57.1 Are there any user information sheets? 14.57.2 Is there any other RMIT documentation on the use of email or electronic news? 14.57.3 Is there a tutorial on the use of electronic mail? 100 See “International Students Summer School Fees” on page 85. Note that summer courses normally start in early January and continue until mid-February. Exact dates will be announced at http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/timetables/. International students who wish to commence in summer should aim to arrive in Australia no later than the end of December. This will allow adequate time to find accommodation and settle in before the holiday period commences. There is a series on the Web in https://inside.cs.rmit.edu.au/support/docs/ that includes online manuals and documentation. If you cannot find what you are looking for, you should go to the Duty Programmers (see “Duty Programmers” on page 81). Students should attend three Unix and CS&IT Networks sessions (see “What activites are run for Newly Commencing Students?” on page 89) prior to commencement of their first classes for assistance on any of the following. The topics covered include: • Installing Moveable Type Web Logger. • Creating self signed SSL certificates for use with Apache web servers. • Using Mutt to access student NIMS email. • Using fetchmail to access student NIMS email. • For pine, nmh and elm users. • SpamAssassin Setup. • Accounts Overview. • Student WWW pages and CGI access. • Using Dial-in modems. PPP access. • Using SSH instead of Telnet. • Using SCP on Unix, Windows & MacOS X. • Reading news from behind a firewall using SSH. • Printing. NT and Unix. • Recovering Deleted Files. • elm Quick Starter. • nn Quick Starter. • vi Quick Starter. • pine manual. • Tomcat 4.1.18 Setup. There is a web page regarding student mail at: http://www.student.rmit.edu.au/. Access to student news is via http://www.rmit.edu.au/students/news. For your RMIT web email, you should go the following link: http://www.student.rmit.edu.au/help.html. For instruction on using Unix programs (tin, nn) to read email, attend the Unix and CS&IT Networks Sessions (see “What activites are run for Newly Commencing Students?” on page 89) - or ask the Duty Programmers to show you!
14.57.4 Where is the Duty Programmers office? 14.57.5 What computers do I have an account on? 14.57.6 I can’t remember my password, or it doesn’t seem to work. Who shall I see? 14.57.7 How do I obtain a computer account? 14.57.8 Is there an alternative to the Unix vi editor? 14.57.9 I have a PC at home and I would like to use it for Unix. What can I do? 14.57.10How do I transfer files from/to my PC? Chapter 14: Frequently asked questions The Duty Programmers can be found at Building 10, Level 10, Room 13, just down the corridor from the School Office. Each day except Sunday, Duty Programmers are available to help you with any system or account based problems. This includes “How do I use mail or news” type questions, or even if you want help with a Unix or PC command. Don’t be embarrassed to ask simple questions! The Duty Programmers’ web page can be accessed at http://www.rmit.edu.au/csit/dpo. Feel free to contact the Duty Programmers on 9925 1994 or email them at helpdesk@cs.rmit.edu.au. You will have a computer account on a number of machines. These will include numbat, yallara and blowfly. numbat and yallara are Unix Machines, and blowfly is a PC server which runs NT on both PC’s and X terminals using Wincenter. Access to numbat and yallara and blowfly should be from the RMIT Masters laboratory in 14.09.23. This laboratory contains many X Windows terminals which connect to numbat and yallara and blowfly. Refer to section on “Passwords” on page 90. If it relates to access to a specific course’s materials, please approach your lecturer and ask them to reset your password for you. Alternatively, if you are in during office hours, you can go see the Duty Programmers. You will get accounts on at least three machines: • numbat (a Sun Ultrasparc running Unix) • yallara (a Sun Ultrasparc machine) • blowfly a series of Pentium machines running Windows 2000 The accounts are created for you when you see the Duty Programmers after you enrol. Your files are common amongst the three sets of computers. That is, the same files are available on each system. If you are having problems with your account you should contact the Duty Programmers during office hours on 99251994 or send email to helpdesk@cs.rmit.edu.au, or fax on 96621617, or go directly to the Duty Programmers office in Building 10, Level 10, Room 13. Please note that for security reasons it will be necessary for you to come in personally in order to have your request serviced. If you do not know any Unix editors, you should attend the ‘Unix and CS&IT Networks Sessions’ (see “What activites are run for Newly Commencing Students?” on page 89) that are run in the orientation and first week of classes. You can contact the Postgraduate Administrators for details and running times. You can also use nedit from one of the X windows terminals as an alternative to using vi. A better version of vi is vim. One option is to purchase and install Linux. This is a PC implementation of Unix. You can obtain a book and a CD from any technical bookstore. Redhat Linux is well thought of. Students can install X windows etc. under Linux. Another similar option is to install FreeBSD, also available with a book from a bookstore. Alternatively, Linux/BSD is available from the Duty Programmers. Finally, students can purchase a Mac running OSX, which is Unix. See “Are there any user information sheets?” on page 100. 101
