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.

!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.
