Basically, ssh to s3dflogin.slac.stanford.edu and from there ssh to fermi-devl (no .slac.stanford.edu; it is a load balancer, but there is only one node so far) to do actual interactive work.  The login nodes are not meant for doing analysis or accessing data. Of course, real computational intensive tasks are meant for the batch system and not the interactive nodes either. Send email to s3df-help at slac.stanford.edu for issues.

Unix Password:

SLAC currently requires a password change every 6 months. You can use https://unix-password.slac.stanford.edu/ to do this.

Cyber Training

Cyber training comes up annually. There are issues with the training system at the moment, so here is (hopefully temporary advice on how to navigate it (note that if you got an email saying your training is coming due, the SLAC ID (SID) is embedded in the url in the email - that is the xxxxxxx in the instructions below):

You need to go to the url below; DO NOT click on forgot password. Give it your system id  (SID) number (xxxxxxx).

Note: the interim training password  is "SLACtraining2005!". If it does not work, email slac-training, asking them to reset it. Then go back to the original link, enter SID and this password. Then do CS100.

Basically, always use the SID where "user name" is requested.

Info
titlepasswordless ssh to fermi-devl

You can modify your .ssh config to allow direct passwordless access from your device to fermi-devl, by adding this to your .ssh/config file on your end:

Host slac*
        User <you>

Host slacl
        Hostname s3dflogin.slac.stanford.edu

Host slacd
        Hostname fermi-devl
        ProxyJump slacl

and then add your e.g. ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub from from your device to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys at SLAC, using:

ssh-copy-id <you>@s3dflogin.slac.stanford.edu
