ECE Machines for EEC 116

If you have problems with the computers in general or your ECE account, email ece-support@ucdavis.edu

If you experience problems starting the CAD tools in our environment, email the TAs or instructor.

Logging in to a suitable machine

Logging in to a remote machine securely is done through "ssh". Since the waveform viewer requires the display of its X window, X forwarding must be handled correctly. Within the ECE department, ssh machinename should work. However, when logging in from a remote machine with a different configuration, a different command line may be required. The key is to enable trusted X11 forwarding. For example, when logging in via OpenSSH (ver. 3.8 and later), use ssh -Y machinename to enable trusted X11 forwarding. The default is untrusted with a "-X" flag, which will cause simvision to fail to forward the display.
