Create a Linux account

To access the Centos Linux computer system you will need to initialise your account.

You only need to do this once.  This is the same as / instead of an initial double-login to the Centos Linux computer system when on campus. 

IMPORTANT: Please note that you do NOT need to create an account here if you are using A2.NET networking lab, or one of the Cyber Security & Digital Forensics labs  - see your tutor for those login credentials as they are specific to those labs only!
