Howard R. Hughes College of Engineering Account Application Information
Computer Sciences Department Account Application

Accounts and passwords are consistent between Windows XP and Linux Redhat,
but separate from and independent of the UNLV engineering college network accounts.
Of course, you can set the password for the EGR and CS accounts to be the same if you want.
You will have to change the CS passwords in a Windows XP session***
 

LINUX

WINDOWS

*do not change your password here; it will not work!         cache: Setting the cache to take up a small amount of memory is good pratice and should be implemented by every user.  Follow these steps:                   open Netscape                 go to Edit                     select Prefenrences                     select Advance                     select Cache                 Now set the disk cache to 0 and                 set the memory cache to 0. click OK.

***change your password in here After logging into the Windows XP session press Ctrl-Alt-Del all at the same time.This will bring up a menu window with the Change Password option.Changing your EGR password does not change your CS password and vice versa.   cache: You can set your cache to a small amount; however this does will not matter because the cache for each user is save on each local machine she/he logs into and upon logout the profile gets deleted by the system.  Note: there are a few users where their profile does not get deleted if this is true for you please follow these steps otherwise your local profile will get full with temp files/cookies/cache then you will have problems loggin in to your CS account.                      open Internet Explorer                 go to Tools                     select Internet Options                     select Settings                 Now set the "Amount of disk space to use:"  to 1MB. click OK.
