SSHing into root@simmons.mit.edu

  1. First, SSH into your personal Athena dialup thing. The password is your kerb password

    Terminal window
    ssh <KERB>@athena.dialup.mit.edu
  2. In your personal Athena dialup thing, SSH into root@simmons.mit.edu. If it’s your first time, enter the password at the top of the Simmons Tech Passwords spreadsheet.

    Terminal window
    ssh root@simmons.mit.edu
  3. To avoid typing in the password in future, add your kerb to the file /root/.k5login. Add both <KERB>@ATHENA.MIT.EDU and <KERB>/root@ATHENA.MIT.EDU.
