Cluster

rules & etiquette
Amy Keating, a BE faculty member, administers coyote. She has four rules for the cluster:
...
There is a node set aside for interactive work. You can get there by ssh super-genius.
The folder /tmp is free for use, but you are asked to clean up after yourself.
Things to note
- You can ssh to coyote only from MIT IP addresses. This means you either need to be on campus or be connected via the MIT VPN. (This was to mitigate security attacks on the cluster.)
- The default shell on coyote is tcsh. To change to bash, issue:
chsh -p /bin/bash my_username. You might need to useusermodrather thanchsh.
