Re: [IUG] Limit Network Access to automatically log on to Millennium

[Tasha Bales <tkeagan at ucsc dot edu>]

Thanks Bob!  It was an old post of yours on the list that piqued my
interest in this login method.  I don't suppose I do need to edit HTTP;
that's just ignorance on my part.  For SSH, someone suggested editing the
Millennium Control Bar, so that "Telnet" opens a TeraTerm script.  However,
the students may not really need access to SSH at all.
Thanks so much for clarifying.
