MULTILAB
1. The multilab is maintained by the Computer Science Department. It is *ACROSS THE HALL* from CSLAB, in room 203. The lab contains 29 PC-based machines running Linux and Windows XP.
2. You can use "finger .clients@cs.uky.edu" command from any Unix host to see a complete list of CS Dept. machines. The ones named after flowers are multilab machines.
3. In order to access these machines remotely, you must use an SSHv2 program.
4. penstemon.cs.uky.edu and coreopsis.cs.uky.edu are server-class machines with faster processors and more memory than the workstation machines. They are always running Linux and are therefore the best candidates for remote logins. Other lab machines run the risk of being rebooted to Windows without notice.

Accessing Oracle Database
From any Linux machine in cs.uky.edu or csr.uky.edu you should be able to
do the following (correct for whichever shell you use):
setenv ORACLE_HOME /usr/local/oracle10
setenv PATH `echo $PATH`:`echo $ORACLE_HOME`/bin
sqlplus userid@orcl (NOTE: you should replace "userid" with yours)
In the command-line interface, you can change your password with the PASSWORD command. See "PASSWORD".
