    1.5 Initial Login

    + +

    The first time you run Disobedience it won't know what server to + connect to, your username or your password, and will therefore + display a login box.

    + +

    + +

    If Disobedience is running on a different computer to the + server, then you should make sure the Remote box is ticked + and fill in the host name (or IP address) and port number + (“Service”). If you don't know what values to use + here, ask your local sysadmin. If, on the other hand, Disobedience + is running on the same computer as the server then you can + leave the Remote box clear and it should be able to connect + to it without using the network.

    + +

    In any case, you will need to enter your username and + password, as set up earlier.

    + +

    Once you have logged in successfuly, Disobedience will remember + these login settings, so it should not be necessary to enter them + again. If you need to change them for any reason, you can either + select the Server > Login option to bring the login window back, or + (if you prefer), edit the file ~/.disorder/passwd + directly.
