Unix at SNC

The main UNIX system in the Computer Science department here at SNC is compsci. compsci is a Solaris system. Students are granted accounts on compsci as needed for coursework. If you are a computer science major interested in an account on compsci, please contact dawn.rohm@snc.edu

Additionally, the UNIX systems here at SNC use NFS to remotely mount the /export/home directory from CompSci to each of the linux systems. The /export/home directory contains both your user directory and all of the course directories. Note that all linux systems use you standand SNC password for login.
