Hi, Trying to go through our doc on the Confluence today about setting up JLab computing access. I simply missed the fact that one can SSH to 'jlabl1' which was actually on the page here: https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/display/hpsg/JLAB+registration+and+obtaining+a+JLAB+account Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this page might be missing a key piece of information about batch system access. Doesn't one's account need to be a member of a group like 'clashps' for batch access to be allowed in the first place? This was the feedback I got from the help desk. If so then I'll add that information to our Wiki. --Jeremy -----Original Message----- From: [log in to unmask] [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of McCormick, Jeremy I.

I'm not sure I understand you on the ifarm connection. Why does it matter on which machine you generate the SSH key? --Jeremy -----Original Message----- From: Stepan Stepanyan [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Monday, April 07, 2014 1:40 PM To: McCormick, Jeremy I.; Francois-Xavier Girod Cc: hps-software Subject: Re: account and database access Jeremy, You should ssh to jlabl1 not jlab1. As for ifarm, go to ifarm1102, for ssh key it matters on which machine you generate.

When trying to connect to 'jlab1' it just hangs and then times out, and when I connect to 'ifarm' it immediately shuts down the connection.
