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.

[[TableOfContents]]

= Our Machines =

We have several machines, which are hosted at Peer1.  Here are brief descriptions of each of the machines you'll need to know about, and what they do.

|| '''Machine name'''      || '''IP address'''|| '''Description''' ||
|| {{{mire.hcoop.net}}}    || 69.90.123.68    || This is the machine that serves all of our members' websites.  Members can log into this machine. ||
|| {{{deleuze.hcoop.net}}} || 69.90.123.67    || This is our mail server, database server, primary DNS nameserver, and the machine that serves [http://hcoop.net] ('''when the migration period is complete''').  Members may not log into this machine. ||

For further details on our machines, including the machines that are not listed here, take a look at the NewSystemHardware page.

= Logging In =

The only machine that you can log into as a member is {{{mire.hcoop.net}}}.  Use SSH to log in, by typing the following, where '''USER''' is your HCoop username.

{{{
ssh USER@mire.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.
