This is the chapter of the MemberManual that describes how to log in to our machines, and provides a brief explanation of what our machines do.
Our Machines
We have several machines. Here are brief descriptions of each of the machines you can log into.
Machine name |
IP address |
Description |
mire.hcoop.net |
69.90.123.68 |
|
For further details on our machines, including the machines that are not listed here, take a look at the [:Hardware:] page.
For shell access when the SSH machine itself is not relevant, use hostname ssh.hcoop.net.
Logging In
Use SSH to log in, by typing the following, where USER is your HCoop username.
ssh USER@ssh.hcoop.net
Changing the Default Shell
If you wish to change your login shell, then create a symlink called ~/.loginshell whose target is your shell of choice. Here is one example:
ln -sf /bin/zsh ~/.loginshell
Web Interface for Login
We also have an AJAX SSH service at [http://ssh.hcoop.net/]. This allows you to use a web browser to log into mire, provided that you have a fairly modern web browser.
Password-less Login
Consult the [:/PasswordlessLogin:Password-less Login] subpage for instructions.
Security Restrictions
We have some security restrictions in place on the shell servers. They are documented here: ShellServerSecurityRestrictions.
