One of the things that WlugIncorporated offers as an incentive for membership is an account on an InterNet hosted machine. This machine is called Hoiho (named after NewZealand'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

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 PublicKey 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 PublicKey ($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.

Wanted

RAM. The current motherboard takes 168pin SDRAM, but can only take upto 128MB per side. This means it can take either 128MB single sided or 256MB double sided DIMMs only. There are currently two 128MB single sided DIMMs in the machine with space for one more.

Software

Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 (Sarge). Read about the set up at WlugAdmin.

Where is it hosted

Currently hosted by Tintz -- thanks CraigMckenna


Possible future services

  • DNS hosting (or secondarying) for WLUG members

    • Could be slaved off a stealth primary on the MetaNet
  • Does anyone want WLUG to run CVS/SubVersion and related tools for WLUG members?
