Network OrganizationClustersSolaris, Linux, Windows and MacOS systems within FNWI are grouped in clusters. Each cluster has at least one fileserver. By far the largest cluster is the "staff" cluster, using a large fileserver on the WTCW campus that holds user data for all staff members. AccountsAny user with an account on a certain cluster can -in principle- work (log in) on any system within that cluster. Usernames withing the FNWI are always the same, passwords are seperate for each cluster. Accounts are personal and non-transferrable. Do not give your password(s) to anyone, including ICT staff. Secretary staff can apply for accounts for new institute staff-members on the support page. Changing PasswordsThe procedure for changing your password on a given cluster can be found on the password page. Access restrictionsWorkstations for different institutes (take for example the KdV and IBED institutes) are connected to the same fileservers (wtcw-server and rec-server). Per default, users belonging to one institute cannot access workstations belonging to the other institute. Otherwise it would be too easy to (ab-)use each others workstations. This default restriction can be relaxed and configured in a much more finegrained fashion, but only on request from the director of an institute (and can be used for joint network computing efforts). Home directoriesOn all clusters your homedirectory is /home/username (where `username' is your username. Regardless on which system within the cluster you log in, you'll find your files in the same place. Homedirectories on different clusters are not shared. E.g., if you have three accounts, you'll have three different homedirectories, one for each cluster. Servers
