Computer Systems at McMurry

McMurry University has a number of computer systems that serve different purposes. Students typically have accounts on two to three servers (McMurryadm, mail.mcm.edu, bb.mcm.edu) while faculty have accounts on at least four. This guide should help you keep them straight.

For the examples in this discussion assume your name is Firstname, Lastname

WWW

This machine is both mail.mcm.edu and www.mcm.edu Maintained by Computer Services (Cooke 103, extension 4900).

• Accounts are lastname.firstname (older accounts are lastnamef).
• Email is forwarded to the corresponding account on students.mcm.edu
• This machine uses a different password than the Windows servers. To change password you need to connect via ssh (using putty) and use the passwd program.
• Webpages on this machine should be referenced as http://www.mcm.edu/~lastnamf/ (NOT http://mail.mcm.edu/).

CS1

CS1.mcm.edu is the Computer Science department server. It is generally similar to mail/www but has more facilities for software development. Accounts are available by request and generated automatically for Computer Science classes.

• Usernames generally correspond with the other user names.
• Faculty addresses are generally flastname @ cs1.mcm.edu
• Account management for CS1 users can be done via https://cs1.mcm.edu/. Note this will require that you accept our site security certificate

students.mcm.edu

mcmurryadm.mcm.edu

This is the authentication server for student and faculty accounts. It is also the email server for most faculty with addresses of the form: lastnamf@mcmurryadm.mcm.edu except newer faculty who have adddresses of the form lastname.firstname

This is probably the most reliable email address for random faculty and staff.

Web access via binar.mcm.edu/exchange/

moodle.mcm.edu

McMurry Moodle class support system. Authorized students/faculty only. This system is used for online teaching.

mcmurry.mcm.edu
