Once you have connected to the UNIX machine, you will see a prompt similar to:
`login:'
You should now type your login name. After you've typed that, you will be prompted for your password. Note that your password will not appear on the screen while you type it (this is for security purposes). If you have typed everything correctly, you have now successfully logged into the machine. Most machines will next display a message. If you are logging in from a non-X terminal, it will then ask you for the type of terminal you are using, like this:
`TERM = (something) '
You should now enter the type of terminal you are using or emulating. If you are using a Mac or IBM it will most likely be VT100. If you are using an X-terminal, the terminal type will be set automatically to xterm. Often times the computer will already know what term type you are using and display it in the parentheses above instead of the word "something". If this is the case, then you need only to press return. Once you have done this you should see a system prompt with the name of the machine you are using, such as this:
`sirius%'
When you see this prompt, you are ready to begin using your account.
After you have finished using your UNIX account, you need to log out. If you are at an X-terminal, move the mouse cursor over the Logout button window in the lower right corner of the screen and click the left mouse button. You can also exit you session by choosing the EXIT, option from the utility menu. To open you utility menu, just press the left mouse button on the root window (root window is the background window).
If you are at another type of terminal, you type
logout
at the system prompt. You can also type Ctrl-D to logout. If you see the line
`There are stopped jobs.'
you will need to type logout again, which will kill all the stopped jobs. Jobs are typically stopped by typing Ctrl-Z. To find out more about Jobs, See section Controlling Jobs.
