Computing  Administering Your Account

You can
• Look at any print jobs sent to networked printers, and delete them if necessary
• Check your quota (also refer to Understanding Your Quota).
• Change your network password, which will affect all services on the file servers (drive mappings, email, file transfer etc.)

To manage networked printer queues, use the link https://print.physiol.ox.ac.uk:631/printers/

To check your file and mail quotas use the link https://www.physiol.ox.ac.uk/Computing/Account/Check_Quotas.cgi

To change your password or check your quota, make a secure connection to the file server. You will be presented with a menu of choices (except those users with an interactive login account).

To make a secure connection you need to install an SSH program.

You should SSH to willis.physiol.ox.ac.uk
You will be invited to log in. Use your departmental user name and your password (the one you use to log into your computer). You will be presented with a menu:

?

Simply choose the item you require.

When changing your password, you will be asked to type your old password, then enter a new password twice. The password must be at least 6 characters long, must have letters in it, and may also include numbers and punctuation. It is case-sensitive. The password is checked against a large dictionary of words, so you may be asked to choose something more cryptic if it doesn't pass the "dictionary check".
