To request an account on the *bddebian* machines either contact
*bddebian* or *tschwinge* (other people might also be able to help) in [[IRC]]
or send email to <hurd-shell-account@gnu.org>.  Also use these contact
addresses for requesting support with respect to software installations, etc.


For easy access, you should append your public SSH key(s)
to `~/.ssh/authorized_keys` on the remote machine.

Also, add the following stanza to `~/.ssh/config` of the machine you're
connecting 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]

The `CheckHostIP` statement is for not having to worry about the machines's IP
addresses changing (due to dial-up connection), and the `UserKnownHostsFile`
one together with the `StrictHostKeyChecking` one are for not having ot worry
about the host keys changing (when the machines are re-installed).  Of course,
this undermines SSH's security system, so you may disagree about these.
