Instruction to login your host and get into rool shell

Here is the instruction to login your linux host and get into a root shell of it.

Identify your hostname.
Your hostname is list on the administrator list at http://info.hkntec.net/workshop/2002/alist.txt. For example, hostname of the administrator shlam is "ntec1-20".
Login gateway.hkntec.net through ssh
Use ssh to login gateway.hkntec.net. In order not to overload gateway.hkntec.net, your partner should login gateway2.hkntec.net.
If you do not have ssh client software, you can download it from http://gateway.ie.cuhk.edu.hk. gateway.hkntec.net and gateway2.hkntec.net can work for both ssh version 1 and 2
The login user name and password should be same as the one in IE network.
From gateway.hkntec.net or gateway2.hkntec.net, ssh your host.
E.g. /usr/local/bin/ssh ntec1-20
The login user name and password should be same as the one in IE network.
To get a root shell at your host, type "/usr/local/bin/sudo /bin/tcsh".
The login password should be same as the one you login your host

After get into the root shell, type "/usr/bin/whoami" to verify your effective uid. It should be "root"
