Here's some new info on DeathTongue as well as some old info I may not
have
mailed out.
Accounts:
- sipb0 (no password): this is a Power User for whatever you might need.
- root (office root password*): this is an admin account for whatever
admin-type things you might need to do. Send mail if you do something
To log in for normal use, use your Athena Account.=20
Username: username@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
Password: [your Athena password here]
-or-
Username: username
Password: [your Athena password here]
Domain: ATHENA.MIT.EDU (kerberos realm)
Local Security Policy:
- I've disabled shutdown without login b/c anyone could then connect VIA
Terminal Services and shut down the machine. I deemed this bad. If you
want to shut down or reboot the machine, log in as sipb0 and do it
from
there.
Applications:
- Microsoft Office (disc 1) is installed. This should satisfy all office
needs. If it doesn't, let me know or install what ever else you might
need from the root account.
- Microsoft Visual Studio (disc 1) is installed. This includes Visual
Basic, Visual C++, Visual Foxpro, and Visual Interdev. In addition,
I've installed Visual J++.
- MSDN Library (January 2001) has been mostly** installed.
Misc:
- Winzephyr is in the Start Menu and on the Desktop now.
- Meadow is installed as a printer on DT.
- Email. You'll probably want to use outlook express with IMAP support
if
you want to check your mail from DT. If you don't want to use that,
SecureCRT is installed, and there are other machines in the office.
To set up OE IMAP, go to tools, accounts. Add Mail. In the wizard,
when
entering the mail server name, pick IMAP from the drop down menu.
After
the wizard is done, bring up the account properties, click the
Advanced
tab, and check "This server requires a secure connection (SSL)" for
IMAP.
Questions:
- What does it take to get a larger hard drive? I'd like to see
something
more than 4GB since half of that is gone already. If at somepoint real
development is going to be happening here, more space would be nice.
I think that covers just about everything for now. Questions, comments,
let me know.

Footnotes:
* I don't know it. I'm not privy to such knowledge. If you should know
it
you probably already do.
** I left out things I thought were pointless.
