[08] WHAT MACHINE DO I LOG INTO FOR SHELL ACCESS? HOW MANY CONCURRENT LOGINS? If you are an SDF-EU member there is currently only one host which is 'odin.sdfeu.org' or just 'sdfeu.org'. This is due to the very small userbase and usage. In the future more servers will be added to 'sdfeu.org' as needed. If you are an SDF member, please keep reading. You may use the following aliases to access SDF: telnet/ssh: tty.sdf.org ftp/sftp/scp: ftp.sdf.org ARPA member server: arpa.sdf.org MetaARPA member server: meta.sdf.org Historically you would login to 'sdf.lonestar.org' .. however, SDF has grown so much, we've got a number of machines available all sharing the same disks. So, no matter what machine you login to, the same files, mail and user programs show up. If you are at a library or school which only allows the use of a web browser, you might be able to use a java applet ssh client at http://sdf.org/ssh Here is a quick list of machines available for public access: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ FQDN (hostname) Hardware Configuration Op System Membership Access ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ol.sdf.org AMD64 4GB 4TB DISK NetBSD 6.1.2 NONE (fileserver) mx.sdf.org AMD64 4GB 2TB DISK NetBSD 6.1.2 NONE (mail server) sdf.org AMD64 4GB NFS client NetBSD 6.1.2 General access ukato.sdf.org AMD64 4GB NFS client -current Development bjork.sdf.org AMD64 2GB NFS client NetBSD 6.x Development miku.sdf.org AMD64 4GB NFS client NetBSD 6.1.2 motd.org toobnix.org faeroes.sdf.org AMD64 4GB NFS client NetBSD 6.1.2 ARPA access norge.sdf.org AMD64 4GB NFS client NetBSD 6.1.2 VHOST member access iceland.sdf.org AMD64 4GB NFS client NetBSD 6.1.2 MetaARPA only ma.sdf.org AMD64 32GB 6TB DISK Centos 6.4 MetaARPA only vpn.sdf.org ALPHA 2GB 73GB DISK NetBSD 4.0.1 VPN PPTP vps1.sdf.org AMD64 32GB 2TB DISK NetBSD 5.1 VPS members only vps2.sdf.org AMD64 32GB 2TB DISK NetBSD 5.1 VPS members only ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ You may not login to ol.sdf.org. It is a fileserver. ('maint' is ok) You may not login to mx.sdf.org. It is a fileserver. HOW MANY CONCURRENT LOGINS CAN I HAVE? You can login as many times as you need within reason. Meaning, if you need to login 10 times to get your code working, go for it! ARE THERE ANY SSH SERVERS RUNNING ON NON-STANDARD PORTS? MetaARPA members may connect via SSH on ports 22, 23, 53, 110, 143, and 993 to meta.sdf.org. These instances of the SSH server support TCP Tunneling and X11 Forwarding. Both iceland and sverige run https on port 443, but sdf, otaku, ukato, faeroes and miku support tunnelling on ports 53, 110, 143 and 443. SDF-EU (sdf-eu.org) run instances of the SSH server on ports 465, 587, 995, 996 1025, 8080 and 7070 which support TCP Tunneling and X11 Forwarding. Port 22 is of course available, but does not support Meta- ARPA features.
