What is the system name that I need to log into?

Dionysus.chud.net. The old name bacchus.chud.net also works, though Dionysus is the system's official name. You can connect via telnet, ssh (version 1 or 2), or FTP. SCP, POP, and IMAP are also supported.

If you want to encrypt your IMAP traffic you may do so, but be aware that we have a home-grown certificate, so your mail client will warn you that the certificate's trust path cannot be verified and ask you if you want to accept it. This is normal.

How do I publish web pages?

Individual users may set up web pages and publich them directly from your account. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Create an account in your home directory called "public_html"
2. Set the file protections on that directory to allow anyone to read it
3. Set file file protections on your home directory to allow "execute" access to anyone. This won't allow anyone to browse through your files, but it will allow anyone to read a file if they already know its name and if that file's own permissions allow it to be read. It also allows the web server to read your "public_html" directory.
4. Put your HTML files, images, and any other web page content in your public_html directory. By default, the web server will look for a file called "index.html" or "index.htm" for the main page.

% cd
% mkdir public_html
% chmod 744 public_html
% chmod 711 ../jim

Now all you need to do is add the content for your web site, and you should be on the air. The web page will be available through the URL
"http://www.chud.net/~username/", so jim's would be
"http://www.chud.net/~jim/"
