All GNU/Linux workstations are accessible with the credentials you chose upon registration by the Lorentz Institute IT staff.
These credentials give you access to your departmental email address
<username>@lorentz.leidenuniv.nl
Make sure your check the email above on a regular basis in order not to miss on important communications. If you obtained an IL account just to use the MARIS cluster please note that all official communications regarding the cluster will occur via your IL email account.
It is possible to forward all incoming mail to your departmental email address to an alternative one by editing your ~/.procmailrc
. In any case, please do not use the ~/.forward
to set up forwarding to external email addresses.
If you are planning to use the IL computational cluster, please read Maris Cluster.
Never disclose your IL credentials. The IT personnel will never ask for your password. Also, you are encouraged to change your password on a regular basis. You can do that by typing on any IL workstation passwd
and following the onscreen indications.
