-====== Usage Guide ======
-[[fez]] and [[torchwood]] run the primary and secondary shell login service for Tardis, externally accessible via <code>ssh.tardis.ed.ac.uk</code> and <code>ssh1.tardis.ed.ac.uk</code>. In order to log in to the Tardis systems you will need to obtain an SSH client. For those with Linux/Unix systems, you should be able to run <code>ssh username@ssh.tardis.ed.ac.uk</code>
-from a command shell. For those in Windows, you are advised to have a look at [[http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/|PuTTY]]. Use this to connect to ''ssh.tardis.ed.ac.uk'', giving the supplied username and password.
-You can change the password on your new account using <code>passwd</code> from the command line, and you are advised to do so on your first log in. You can read your mail off the system using pine, or whatever your preferred mail client is.
-The old SSH server [[vortis]] is still accessible, at <code>ssh user@vortis.xen.tardis.ed.ac.uk</code> but will be taken down in the next couple of months.
-For more help in actually getting started using a shell see [[tardis_beginner_tutorials]].
-====== Shell Server ======
-We run OpenSSH latest authenticated against [[ldap]]. The primary shell login host is [[vortis]] which runs Linux. The SSH server will be switched over to [[fez]] soon. To log in ssh <code>user@ssh.tardis.ed.ac.uk</code>. Please be aware that the new SSH server [[fez]] is running a temporary ban service to mitigate brute force attacks; Bans will expire after around 20 minutes of inactivity.
-====== Dumping Screen Sessions, Weechat, Irssi, etc. ======
-While [[fez]] has a full featured install, [[torchwood]] is intentionally nerfed to dissuade people from dumping sessions there.
