Because the old server, kennel.rice.edu, died, a new server now handles hosting organization web pages. To access the new server, organization.rice.edu, a few changes may be necessary to your current setup.
First, the changes which the new server caused are detailed here. They include:
- SSH access to organization.rice.edu from Rice networks only
- Default Shell on organization.rice.edu is bash
- no FTP access. SFTP access only.
- No samba/CIFS access supported.
- No X11 supported.
- Pine is replaced with ALPINE.
The Nomenclature
The new server is called organization.rice.edu, but "ftp.ruf.rice.edu" and "organization.rice.edu" point to the same server, the new one.
