[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.sdf-eu.org' or just 'sdf-eu.org'. This is due to the
very small userbase and usage. In the future more servers will be
added to 'sdf-eu.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/scp: ftp.sdf.org
Historically you 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 Membership Access
--------------------------------------------------------------------
ol.sdf.org AMD64 4GB RAM 4TB DISK NONE (fileserver)
mx.sdf.org AMD64 4GB RAM NFS client NONE (mail server)
sdf.lonestar.org AMD64 4GB RAM NFS client general access
otaku.sdf.org ALPHA 2GB RAM NFS client general access
faeroes.sdf.org ALPHA 2GB RAM NFS client general access
norge.sdf.org AMD64 4GB RAM NFS client VHOST member access
bjork.sdf.org ALPHA 2GB RAM NFS client NONE (development)
sverige.sdf.org AMD64 4GB RAM NFS client MetaARPA only
iceland.sdf.org AMD64 4GB RAM NFS client MetaARPA only
--------------------------------------------------------------------
You may not login to ol.sdf.org. It is a fileserver.
You may not login to mx.sdf.org. It is a fileserver.
You may not login to bjork.sdf.org. It is for development.
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, 443
and 993 to meta.sdf.org. These instances of the SSH server support
TCP Tunneling and X11 Forwarding.
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.
