A few newbie questions
Hi
I just wanted to ask a few basic questions really. I'm telnetting to a remote host and I've finally found out that I'm using a csh shell.
My questions are:
1. Is the somename@something, the user group logged in?
2. How do I change user?
I'm really lost so I hope someone can help
