All registered students must have obtained an account on the cs lab machine. Do "ssh wyvern.cs.newpaltz.edu" or "ssh 137.140.4.101" to login. Your userame and password will be the same as your NPCUID that you use for all other purposes. If you have problems, please let me know.
If you are on campus, there is a lab of linux machines in HUM301 - these are hosts 137.140.4.101 - 137.140.4.120. Most of these are also remotely available with Secure Shell, ssh. (There are no Telnet servers on these).
