Basic issues

You need to first login to a machine on the internet (e.g. in CSIL or the ECI lab), then login to the Meiko. Before logging in, make sure that you have disabled access control, so that X clients can connect from Meiko. Just type "xhost m" or add Meiko to your .xhosts file. From the shell prompt of your workstation type rlogin or telnet m, then enter your login name and your password if required.

To tell X applications to display on your login terminal, set the environment variable DISPLAY. Type setenv DISPLAY ``workstation_name:0.0".

You need to include /opt/MEIKOcs2/bin in your path and type: ls /opt/MEIKOcs2/man/man1 to see manual pages available. Type: man -M /opt/MEIKOcs2/man command to view manual page. Include: /opt/SUNWspro/bin in your path to get access to the Solaris node compilers for C, C++, and Fortran. It is more convenient to have /opt/MEIKOcs2/man in your .login file as follows:

        setenv MANPATH /opt/MEIKOcs2/man:${MANPATH}
Then you can simply type:

        % man prun
for the prun manual page. All of above paths have been included in the .cshrc/.login files as described below.
