How do I?

CS Techstaff understands that there is an occasional need for CS alumni to access course-related data in their home directory, even after graduation. To that end, an alum may access the server alumni.cs.uchicago.edu in the same manner that CS department systems were previously accessed, as in the following example.

amcguire@Andrews-MacBook-Pro ~ % ssh alumni.cs.uchicago.edu

amcguire@alumni:~$ 

The alumni system is directly connected to the Internet and so no jump server connectivity or VPN is required to access it. This system exists primarily so that an alum may access data in their old home directory, and so provides only very limited access to other tools and network services.
