Setup UNIX account

Set up your account on a UNIX system. Spend the time to have the account work for you. Often making a few changes can make an account more usable. On UNIX systems there are a number of files that affect the way your account behaves. The files that affect your account that you can change will usually have a period as the first character of the file name.

Login to your account and set it up.
