  2. Once you have a SLAC ID then you will be able to apply for a SLAC computer account.  For this you will need to go to http://www2.slac.stanford.edu/comp/slacwide/account/account.html Fill out this form, sign it, and FAX it to the attention of Les Cottrell at +1-650-926-3329.
  3. Once you have an account you will need to know the userid and password. We will get these to you. You will need to change the password. This is done by ssh'ing to flora.slac.stanford.edu (a cluster of Solaris interactive hosts) and issuing the password (not passwd) command. Please let us know when you have changed the password. The resetting of UNIX passwords will take up to 1 hour to take effect. The password must be >= 8 characters and include characters from three of the following sets: upper case, lower case, digits, and special characters. To ensure any email sent to your SLAC account goes to the right place, enter a .forward file (Google Unix .forward). We will be requesting the Unix group to enable you to logon to iepm-bw, iepm-resp and pinger but that will take some delay. You will probably need some priviledges to access/write to various places. This will become more apparent as you get going. You may find https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/display/IEPM/Access+priviledges of some use, however it is meant for iepm admins rather than iepm users.
