-====== 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.
-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 [[fez]] which runs Debian Linux (OpenVZ). To log in ssh <code>user@ssh.tardis.ed.ac.uk</code>. Please be aware that the new SSH server [[fez]] is running a ban service to mitigate brute force attacks; 6 failed attempts at login will cause a ban; 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.
-====== Reboots ======
-Sometimes a reboot needs to happen, though most try to keep these as infrequent as possible.
-Some reasons (not exhaustive) a reboot may need to occur on a shell server:
-  *  Critical Security Patches
-  *  Kernel Updates
-  *  [[#Unattended_Upgrades|unattended-upgrades moaning about a reboot being required]]
-  *  'Hardware' changes (in the case of a VM)
-  *  Hardware changes (in the case of [[torchwood]])
-If you need to perform a reboot of a shell server, it's usually nice to let others know that you're going to do so.
-There are a few ways people do this - some will just use the scheduled reboot functionality in the <code>shutdown HH:MM</code> command (remember, <code>shutdown -r</code> does a reboot) - see <code>man shutdown</code> for more info on how to do that.
-Another strategy that some use is to edit <code>/etc/motd</code> to get users attention as they login, advertising a planned reboot.
-Also useful here is the <code>wall</code> command, allowing you to send a message to all users currently logged in to the server. (You can see who is currently logged in by running <code>w</code> or <code>who</code>)
-Ultimately, it is up to your own judgement on if you *should* reboot a shell server, and if you are going to, how much you let people know in advance.
-Oh, one more thing... Remember if you're rebooting a machine from Proxmox over an SSH tunnel, and that tunnel lands on the machine you're rebooting, you will lose connection to proxmox. This is one of the reasons we have two shell servers.
-===== Unattended Upgrades =====
-It emails <code>root@tardis</code> daily, and will include <code>[reboot required]</code> in the subject line if it needs the system to be rebooted. It will look a bit like this:
-  Unattended upgrade returned: None
-  Warning: A reboot is required to complete this upgrade.
-  Packages that attempted to upgrade:
-  Packages with upgradable origin but kept back:
-   db5.1-util
-  Unattended-upgrades log:
-  Initial blacklisted packages:
-  Initial whitelisted packages:
-  Starting unattended upgrades script
-  Allowed origins are: ['o=Debian,n=jessie', 'o=Debian,n=jessie-updates', 'o=Debian,n=jessie-proposed-updates', 'o=Debian,n=jessie,l=Debian-Security', 'origin=Debian,codename=jessie,label=Debian-Security']
-  Packages that will be upgraded:
-It is up to your own judgement if the package mentioned really needs a reboot, or if it can wait until the next thing to come up that requires a reboot. This will likely be because of a Debian Security advisory, so go check [[https://www.debian.org/security/|their site]].
