Setup instructions
Verification procedures
Use the following information to verify the installation and configurations of the AIX
systems.
__ 1. Start up a terminal emulation application on one of the student PCs and connect to
the IP address of the AIX system.
__ 2. Login as one of the user accounts with the appropriate password.

__ 3. To test the VNC server, run the vncserver command from the userid. The program
will ask you to enter a password (twice) for the VNC session, then exit. Run
vncserver again, and it will start the VNC server session and display the name and
session number. (typically of the form hostname:1).
Start a VNC client from the student PC and connect to the VNC session you just set
up. The client should ask you for your password (the one you just set up), then
display a window with the AIXWindows environment in it (large aixterm and xclock).
Close the VNC client session by closing the window, then return to your terminal
emulator application, and kill the VNC server by typing vncserver -kill <sessionid>
where <sessionid> is the VNC session number. (for example, vncserver -kill :1)
Log out of the user account.
__ 4. Open a new terminal emulator window, and login as root with password ibmaix.
__ 5. Display the contents of /etc/passwd to ensure the other user IDs were created by
issuing the following command from the command line:
# more /etc/passwd
__ 6. Access online man pages.
# man tar
This should present information about the tar command if the documentation
was installed correctly.
__ 7. Log out of the root account.
__ 8. Verify Internet connectivity from the student PCs.
