Changing passwords, addresses, phone numbers, etc

Changing your CSAIL Kerberos password

Run passwd on any CSAIL Debian machine. Note that /usr/local/csail/bin/passwd is actually a symlink to /usr/bin/kpasswd. If /usr/local/csail/bin is not in your PATH, you can still run /usr/bin/kpasswd directly.

Changing addresses, phone numbers, etc

A generic command line tool is installed on CSAIL Debian system. inquir-client knows how to display and modify numerous fields in INQUIR. Run inquir-client -h for the complete usage summary. Note that inquir-client is not really intended to be the primary interface to INQUIR. Instead, it should be the back end, and more friendly scripts, such as inquir-chsh should be written to provide a more friendly interface.

Changing your CSAIL Unix Shell

You can change your unix shell at the WebINQUIR interface. Also by logging into any CSAIL Debian machine (including login.csail.mit.edu) and using the inquir-chsh command. Note: CSAIL Debian workstations are synchronized with INQUIR every 15 minutes, so there will be some delay before your changes take effect.
