In order to gain access to these computers, you must send an [[SSH]] key to your [[User:Chris Tyler|professor]].Please follow these instructions exactly:
# Follow the steps outlined under [[SSH#Using_Public_Keys_with_SSH|Using Public Keys with SSH]] to create your key.
# Copy the public key (<code>id_rsa.pub</code> or <code>id_dsa.pub</code>) to a file named <code>''yourUserId''.pub</code> -- for example, if your chosen user ID is "jldoe", save the key in the file <code>jldoejdoe.pub</code> using a command such as: <code>cp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub ''jldoejdoe''.pub</code>
# Attach that file to an e-mail message and send it to [mailto:chris.tyler@senecacollege.ca chris.tyler@senecacollege.ca] with the subject line "SPO600 Key".
{{Admon/tip|Check Your Key!|Your professor uses an automated script to create accounts, so the key must be valid, in the OpenSSH format, and correctly named in order to work successfully.}}
