    		•  ECES users who do not have access to PLUS, including faculty and some non-degree seeking students, must change their ECES passwords by SSH'ing to ECES or on an ECE Undergraduate Lab Windows 2000 computer.

    ECES users actually have two passwords on the system: one for accessing ECES via SSH/SCP and for logging into eces-shell and the CAD Lab Linux clients, and another for logging into the ECE Undergraduate Lab Windows 2000 client computers.

    Without access to PLUS, these passwords must be changed separately.
