I cannot log in to any CS workstation, but I know I have access - what could be wrong?

There are several things that might be wrong:
  • You may be over your disk quota. You can use "quota -v" to get a high-level look at where you stand.

    [Queequeg@pequod]$ quota -v
Disk quotas for user Queequeg (uid 19041):
  Filesystem  blocks   quota   limit   grace   files   quota   limit   grace
frigga:/local/home/student
              12253  50000  55000            4195   10000   13500

    You can see that Queequeg is using 12253 blocks of his 55000 limit. He"ll receive a warning when he goes over 50000 blocks. It"s a good idea to watch your file limit also.

    To see your 10 largest files, use du -sk * .??* | sort -rn | head

    And remember to purge your browser cache from time to time.

  • Your password may be expired. If this is the case, please visit the Help Desk in Engineering I, room 3110 or send an email to support@cs
Remember, if you"re over quota, you may not be able to log in graphically. If that"s the case, you can log in remotely via ssh, use the failsafe login, or hit CTRL + ALT + F2 and login there.
