Also use these contact addresses for requesting support with respect to software installations, etc. For the `hurd.nipl.net` host, please see . To be able to use just `ssh [machine]`, you should append your public SSH key to `~/.ssh/authorized_keys` on the remote machine. And if you don't want to worry about the machines's IP addresses changing (due to dial-up connection) or the host keys changing every now and then (when the machines are re-installed), put something like the following into `~/.ssh/config` of the machine you connect from: Host clubber.bddebian.com clubber HostName clubber.bddebian.com Port 2251 Host flubber.bddebian.com flubber HostName flubber.bddebian.com Port 2250 Host gnubber.bddebian.com gnubber HostName gnubber.bddebian.com Port 2254 Host goober.bddebian.com goober HostName goober.bddebian.com Port 2255 Host *.bddebian.com clubber flubber gnubber goober CheckHostIP no UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null StrictHostKeyChecking no User [username]
