This is a list of tips and tricks for TICC members.

To add a new user with admin privileges quickly, ssh with -X forwarding, then run "sudo sux" for a gui session. Then, the command users-admin will run the user administration panel familiar to the gui.
Since we have servers (at the time of this writing) that require IPs to access, edit the /etc/hosts file to have a line like the following
```
138.67.C.D serverName 
```
where C and D are replaced with the respective values and serverName is the shortcut you would like to use. Then, you can simply use
```
ssh username@serverName
```
as a shortcut.
