In this update, page 6-47 was accidentally omitted, so adjust the update instructions to not discard page 6-47.

Part 3a) of this week's hands-on assignment has been corrected. It now says:
"... make sure they use the page's network URL --
e.g., https://web.mit.edu/$USER/www/assignment6.html --
to ensure that the certificate mechanism is exercised."
It previously listed http://web.mit.edu/$USER/www/assignment6.html (not https://...) as the example URL, which does not exercise the certificate mechanism. Make sure to note the change when testing your restricted page.

Important: 6.033 will hit the ground running on Tuesday, Feb. 6 (the first day of classes) by holding recitation section meetings that are not just organizational and administrative -- they will have real content as well.
Attend the recitation section assigned by the registrar. During the first lecture, we will handout recitation sign up forms. On the form, try to pick a section with an instructor you have not had before. We will balance the sections after the first week or so.
Lab: There is no lab component of 6.033 this year. If you are interested in a sytems lab, take Distributed Operating System Engineering (6.824) in the fall.
To comply with faculty rules, the thrid 6.033 quiz will be held during finals week.
