Logging into the NOWs

Here's how to log into the now cluster, stolen from the cs267 web page:

Logging into NOW

There are two ways to login to the Berkeley NOW. The first is a command line method, and the second is accessible over the web.

From the command line
- First, set up kerberos.
- If you're not already logged into a CS machine, login to a CS machine, e.g. now.cs.berkeley.edu
- Type '/usr/sww/share/bin/nowlogin -Cultra'
  This will allow you to login to the least loaded UltraSparc machine.
From the web.
- Go to NOW telnet and select the Ultra cluster. Click on the button to login to the least loaded NOW machine.

Make sure that your path includes:

You can check this by typing

echo $path

If your path does not include the three directories, then type

set path=($path /usr/sww/bin /usr/sww/share/bin /usr/now/bin)

Make sure that your MANPATH includes:

Check this by typing:

echo $MANPATH

If this is not set, you can type

setenv MANPATH ${MANPATH}:/usr/now/man
