==Changing your password==

Change your password by logging into '''taurus''' ( See [[SSH|Connecting to LUDD's servers]]) and issuing the following command:

<pre>passwd</pre>

You will be prompted for your old password, and asked to confirm your new one.

==Changing your shell==

Shell can be changed from https://cortex.ludd.ltu.se/index2.php

==Forwarding your mail==
Log in to any of our servers ( See [[SSH|Connecting to LUDD's servers]]) and run the following commands:
<pre>cd ~
echo "[mail-address]" > .forward</pre>
where [mail-address] is the mailaddress you want to forward '''TO'''. 

For example, if I want to forward mail to the address '''bogus@bogusville.com''', I would have run 
<pre>cd ~
echo "bogus@bogusville.com" > .forward</pre>
