CS691 S2012 Homework

Goal:

Assignment Date: 1/18/2012
Due Day: 1/25/2012

Description:

For this class we have setup two Fedora Core 16 Linux walrus.uccs.edu and gandalf.uccs.edu with a user account for you, using the same ufp account name but with password starting with #a followed by SID. Note that these two servers are behind uccs firewall. You need to set up uccsvpn befpre accessing its web server and sshd server.
We will use EAS VMware cluster for our secure access and cloud security exercises. It requires you to login with your ufp account and password.

Part 1. Create CS691 Personal Web Page.

Establish uccsvpn first.
Use SSH Secure Shell Client or Putty to create a terminal session to walrus.uccs.edu. You can also use SSH Secure File Transfer to transfer files to walrus but make sure you take care of DOS/Unix file format differences.
Create a personal web page http://walrus.uccs.edu/~<login>/cs691/<login>.html with your name, email address, recent photo (close-up similar to passport photo, so that we can recognize your face) and your research interests in advanced Internet and web systems. Put your recent photo in ~<login>/public_html/cs691/images/<login>.jpg. Make sure you change the file name to <login>.jpg. For example, Hamdean Alzahrani should use the file name halzahra.jpg for his picture. Email me the url of the web page by 1/25/2012. Here <login> is your ufp login.
Once I received your url of the web page, I will run a perl script to copy your images to our class photo album web page: http://walrus.uccs.edu/~cs691/CS691S2012Photo.html
Try to adjust the picture position by changing the margin-left attribute value in <login>.html. For example here we use stedila as login.
<img src="images/stedla.jpg" width="158" style="position: absolute; top: 16px; left: 50%; margin-left: 290px">
CSS is critical to current web page and web application development. We all cover them a little bit.
