Hello All, well as you have probably not noticed, we have not been making
|
||
any files lately. Well this is for several reason. 1) The people in the
|
||
group have not gotten off their butts and written files. 2) There is a new
|
||
group that has been started called MoT (Not RoT!) who basically have alot
|
||
of talent. I and the remaining members of /´FTERSHOCK INC. have joined them
|
||
and will be more active there. I wrote a couple of tfiles that I have saved
|
||
for them(Yes they're better than this shit). For a little sample download
|
||
MOTAD.001 from your friendly neighborhood BBS.. See ya' in an upcoming issue
|
||
of MoT! Although there may still be some /´FTERSHOCK files left... Just look
|
||
around for
|
||
|
||
This is a couple files of limited usefulness that I got from a VAX machine
|
||
that I hacked into. Try to get in by using one of these default accounts, it
|
||
does have some things to do once you're inside.

||
The UACN VAX Network consists of a number of Digital Equipment Corporation
|
||
VAX minicomputers interconnected by means of DECnet, Digital's networking
|
||
product. The network consists of three UACN-owned VAX computer clusters,
|
||
named ACAD1 (located in Juneau), ACAD2 (in Anchorage), and ACAD3 (in
|
||
Fairbanks). You may obtain a username and use any of these three computers
|
||
by simply asking at your local UACN office.
|
||
|
||
Incidentally, there are VAXen owned by other University departments that
|
||
are connected to the network, so don't be surprised if you see references
|
||
to VAXen other than ACAD1, ACAD2, and ACAD3.
|
||
|
||
The UACN VAXen offer a command called "EXPLAIN" which will give you information
|
||
about the computer network and its software. Some introductory information is
|
||
given in EXPLAIN INTRO. A menu of this introductory material will follow.

|
||
|
||
Your terminal keyboard looks a lot like a typewriter keyboard, but there are
|
||
some important differences. VAX uses some of the additional features and some
|
||
other tricks to make typing a lot easier. It may also save you some trouble
|
||
when you are using VAX software.
|
||
|
||
_C_o_n_t_r_o_l _K_e_y_s
|
||
|
||
VAX uses control characters to perform various special jobs. If you look on
|
||
your terminal's keyboard, you'll find a key marked "CTRL" (or a similar
|
||
abbreviation) in the lower left corner. This key works like the SHIFT key:
|
||
you hold down the CTRL key and press another key to get a control character.
|
||
For example, the character called "control U" (abbreviated CTRL/U or ^U) is
|
||
produced by holding down the CTRL key and pressing the U key. The most common
|
||
control characters and other special characters are summarized below.
|
||
|
||
_C_h_a_r_a_c_t_e_r _R_e_s_u_l_t
|
||
DELETE Erases the last character that you typed. (On some terminals,
|
||
|
||
this key is marked "RUBOUT"). This is NOT the same as
|
||
BACKSPACE or the left arrow key.
|
||
TAB Moves the cursor to start of next column (default columns are
|
||
8 characters wide). Same as ^I.
|
||
^C Stops the current activity; depending on the program, you may
|
||
remain in the program or be returned to the "$" prompt.
|
||
^Y Stops everything; returns you to the "$" prompt.
|
||
^U Cancels the line that you are typing and allows you to retype
|
||
it.
|
||
^Z Marks the end of input; used to tell programs that you are
|
||
finished entering data.
|
||
^S Freezes the display (gives you time to read the display).
|
||
^Q Unfreezes the display; resumes output.
|
||
NO SCROLL Alternately sends ^S and ^Q to make life a little simpler.
|
||
|
||
_T_h_e _O_t_h_e_r _K_e_y_s
|
||
|
||
Most terminals have keys with arrows on them (up, down, left, and right).
|
||
These are called "cursor keys" because they can be used to move the cursor
|
||
around on the screen. They can be used to patch up the commands that you
|
||
|
||
Press RETURN to continue...
|
||
type (see EXPLAIN LINEEDIT). They are also used for moving around
|
||
within the screen editors (see EXPLAIN EDITORS).
|
||
|
||
The last major feature is the "keypad", the group of numeric keys and
|
||
function keys (PF1, PF2, PF3, PF4) at the right side of most keyboards.
|
||
Most of the time, you can use the numeric keys to quickly type in numbers.
|
||
Within the screen editors, all keypad keys perform special functions. You
|
||
can also use the DEFINE command to "program" these keys to simplify your
|
||
work (see EXPLAIN DEFINE).
|
||
|
||
_T_y_p_e _A_h_e_a_d
|
||
|
||
The "type ahead" feature on VAX allows you to keep typing while VAX is busy
|
||
processing your previous commands. VAX will store away everything that you
|
||
are typing in, and use it when the time comes. VAX has a limited amount of
|
||
storage, though - if it starts beeping every time you type a character, it is
|
||
telling you to give it a chance to catch up. As soon as it digests some of
|
||
what you have typed, you can continue typing ahead.
|
||
|
||
_P_o_s_s_i_b_l_e _P_r_o_b_l_e_m_s
|
||
|
||
Press RETURN to continue...
|
||
There are a number of simple-to-fix problems that you will probably run into
|
||
eventually. Here are some of them and their solutions:
|
||
|
||
NOTHING SHOWS UP ON THE TERMINAL WHILE I TYPE. Most often this is caused by
|
||
pressing the ^S or NO SCROLL keys accidentally. On CIT-101e terminals, the
|
||
ONLINE light flashes if this is the case. You can correct it by typing ^Q or
|
||
pressing the NO SCROLL key again.
|
||
On occasion, lack of response is due to a pause or failure in the network.
|
||
If you cannot get a response within a couple of minutes, check with the
|
||
nearest UACN consultant for assistance.
|
||
|
||
I ACCIDENTALLY TYPED ^C OR ^Y AND KILLED WHAT I WAS DOING. Don't panic...
|
||
you can get back to what you were doing by typing "CONTINUE" after the
|
||
"$" prompt:
|
||
|
||
$ continue
|
||
|
||
However, this only works if you do it right after the accident. If you do
|
||
some other work before using CONTINUE, you may not be able to continue.

|
||
|
||
In order to login to any of the UACN computers, you must have a
|
||
username and a password. The username (or userid - user identification)
|
||
identifies you to the computer. The username is public information,
|
||
and you can tell anyone what your username is.
|
||
|
||
On the other hand, your password is top secret - only you and the computer
|
||
should know what it is. Don't tell anyone what your password is, and make
|
||
sure that nobody watches as you type it in. This is especially important
|
||
if you have personal or hard-to-replace data stored in your files. The
|
||
only exception to this secrecy is if one of the UACN consultants needs to
|
||
know your password in order to help you with a problem. As soon as the
|
||
problem is fixed, you should change your password. Even if you don't let
|
||
anyone know your password, you should change your password regularly, once
|
||
a month or so. You can change your password with the SET PASSWORD command
|
||
like this:
|
||
|
||
$ set password
|
||
|
||
Press RETURN to continue...
|
||
Old password:
|
||
New password:
|
||
Verification:
|
||
|
||
(For verification, type in the new password again.)

||

||
_T_h_e _C_a_s_e _o_f _t_h_e _F_o_r_g_o_t_t_e_n _P_a_s_s_w_o_r_d
|
||
|
||
When you apply for a username, you give an Account Identification number
|
||
(AID) which is, in most cases, your social security number. This number
|
||
is your first password.
|
||
|
||
If you forget what your password is at some point, you should drop by the
|
||
local UACN office and tell the consultant. You may be required to show
|
||
some identification to prove that you are the owner of the username.
|
||
The consultant will then reset your password to your AID, just as it was
|
||
originally. _N_o_b_o_d_y, including consultants, can look up your password
|
||
on the computer and find out what it is.
|
||
|
||
_M_u_l_t_i_p_l_e _C_o_m_p_u_t_e_r_s_, _M_u_l_t_i_p_l_e _U_s_e_r_n_a_m_e_s
|
||
|
||
Just because you have a username on one of the UACN computers doesn't
|
||
mean that you can login to any of the other computers. However, you
|
||
may discover that the software that you need to use is on one of the
|
||
other computers, but not on yours.
|
||
|
||
The solution is simple: just go to your local UACN office and request
|
||
a username on the other computer or computers. If you have a username,
|
||
you shouldn't have any trouble getting a username on one of the other
|
||
VAX computers. All you have to do is ask.
|
||
|
||
Your username will be the same on all VAX computers; if you are FTLSK3
|
||
on ACAD3, you will be FTLSK3 on ACAD1 and ACAD2 as well.
|
||
|
||
_W_h_o_'_s _W_h_o _o_n _V_A_X
|
||
|
||
You will often want to know what somebody's username is. If you know the
|
||
person's last name, you can find the username with the WHO command:
|
||
|
||
$ who smith
|
||
|
||
Press RETURN to continue...
|
||
This command will find all usernames belonging to people with "smith" in
|
||
their names, such as "Smith, John Q", "Smithson, Paul C", and so on.
|
||
You can restrict the search if you know the person's first name:
|
||
|
||
$ who mary smith
|
||
|
||
You can also find out who belongs to a username. Just put the username
|
||
in place of the person's name, such as:
|
||
|
||
$ who sxpl
