Unix Password:

SLAC currently requires a password change every 6 months. You can use https://unix-password.slac.stanford.edu/ to do this.

Cyber Training

Cyber training comes up annually. If you have an Active Directory (aka Windows) account, just follow the links.

There are issues with the training system at the moment if you only have a unix account, so here is (hopefully) temporary advice on how to navigate it (note that if you got an email saying your training is coming due, the SLAC ID (SID) is embedded in the url in the email - that is the xxxxxxx in the instructions below - if your account has not been disabled, you can ssh to rhel6-64 and issue the command:

res list user <your unix account name>

which will give your SID (along with your account status).

if none of that works, ask your SLAC Point of Contact):

You need to go to the url below; DO NOT click on forgot password. Give it your system id  (SID) number (xxxxxxx).

Note: the interim training password  is "SLACtraining2005!". If it does not work, email slac-training, asking them to reset it. Then go back to the original link, enter SID and this password. Then do CS100.

Basically, always use the SID where "user name" is requested.

You can modify your .ssh config to allow direct passwordless access from your device to fermi-devl, by adding this to your .ssh/config file on your end:

Host slac*
        User <you>

Host slacl
        Hostname s3dflogin.slac.stanford.edu

Host slacd
        Hostname fermi-devl
        ProxyJump slacl

and then add your e.g. ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub from from your device to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys at SLAC, using:

ssh-copy-id <you>@s3dflogin.slac.stanford.edu

For those using the cvs server on centaurusa outside from slac, you have to add a proxyjump for centaurusa. Since the cvs server is written in all CVS/Root files of a cvs package, you have to use the following solution:

Host centaurusa.slac.stanford.edu
        Hostname centaurusa
        ProxyJump slacl
