All new users will have access to a home directory on the ppe system, of the form /home/"username".

All new account/e-mail passwords should be changed immediately after they are issued. To change your PPE account password, type =yppasswd= at the terminal. You will then be prompted to enter your old password and a new password (twice for confirmation). Choose a secure password (a mixture of upper/lower case letters, numbers and punctuation/symbols) which you can remember.

New users should contact Shane Kelly by e-mail (room 238, s.kelly@gla.ac.uk) in order to be placed on the PPE mailing list.
