+One of the things that WlugIncorporated offers an incentive for membership is an account on an Internet hosted machine. This machine is called [Hoiho] (named after New Zealand's YellowEyedPenguin) and is available at hoiho.wlug.org.nz. See the JoinWlug page for information on how to become a paid-up member
  
-This machine is called __hoiho__ (named after New Zealand's YellowEyedPenguin) and will be available at hoiho .wlug.org.nz. The machine has been built and configured and has currently hosted by www.tintz .co.nz
+!What it does  
+  
+* Run the wiki.  
+* Allows shell access (and personal webspace) (Check that the [SSH] [host key matches|http://www .wlug.org.nz/archive/hoiho-host-key .txt] .)  
+* Runs a mail server for LUG members, with SpamAssassin & [Virus] scanning (available via WebMail and secure [IMAP])
  
 Read about the set up at HoihoDocuments. 
+  
+!How to get Shell Access  
+  
+If you are a paid member of WLUG then you are eligible for a shell account on this machine. Access is only via [SSH], and you will need to let us know your public key so it can be installed. To have this account created, send an email to secretary at wlug.org.nz, with either a [PGP] signed SSH public key ($HOME/.ssh/id_dsa.pub) as an attachment, or a request to be phoned on the number you provided on your membership form. We can then assign you a password for webmail, which you can then use to email us a key.  
+  
+If you don't know about [SSHKeys], please read the [SSHKeys] page. It explains how to create one. We do not accept password authentication because of the large number of attempts to brute-force passwords.  
+  
+Please see HoihoAcceptableUsePolicy for what you can and can't do with this machine.
