HOWTOs

All these HOWTOs are Wake Forest-specific.

• Populating cfengine's /var/cfengine/inputs

  See an example of /var/cfengine/inputs for cfengine.

• Authenticate to the Wireless Network with Mac OS X

  Macs can connect to Wake Forest's wireless network, just as a Thinkpad can.

• Test Whether a Port is Open

  Port testing can make sure that "connection refused" messages and the like are not application issues.

• Send Your Mail Headers

  Headers are useful to technicians because they show the machines that received a message, along with message IDs that can be used to look up what each machine did for a message.

• Use SSH

  SSH stands for "secure shell". It is a replacement for "telnet". SSH is favored over telnet because it does not allow people to eavesdrop on your connection.
