how do I?
Request a
personal web page space?
Setup Thunderbird for
Colby email?
Change OSX default shell?
If a local user on the Mac: Applications->Utilities->netinfo->users->username find the user you want to alters shell, change and save.
(in 10.5 faster to do sudo dscl . -create /Users/username UserShell /bin/tcsh)
However, to accomplish this if you login to the colby domain on your mac, as an administrator (sudo) you will need to edit
/Library/Preferences/DirectoryService/ActiveDirectory.plist
and change the line
/bin/bash
to
/bin/tcsh
Now, go back and do the local user solution above as an admin.
Xsession off of a colby machine, when your off campus?
ssh -Y colby0.colby.edu, then ssh -X machinewithX, from within an X session on your Mac.
Use Colby's VPN? Here is a work in progress
pdf that will get you going. Change the ip address to vpn.colby.edu for better dynamic configuration.
Install an Xserver on my Windows box? Install
Cygwin X. Make sure that you install your favorite shell and ssh!.
Another Xserver on windows is
Xming
Redirect a page from the colby server to wiki.colby.edu?
Look at the source of
redirect.html
