Can I ssh to scripts.mit.edu to test my scripts?
Yes, although you must sign up for at least one of the script services before you can connect. We recommend that you connect from Athena with the following commands:
athena% add scripts
athena% sshmic scripts
If you want to log in to access a locker other than your own, you should log in with your locker name specified as the “username” for the login:
athena% add scripts
athena% sshmic LOCKERNAME@scripts
(with LOCKERNAME replaced by the name of your locker)
You can ssh to scripts.mit.edu from any Athena computer. We do not allow direct password logins to scripts.mit.edu since going through Athena is more secure.
You can also log in from most other computers with SSH and Kerberos; run ssh -k scripts.mit.edu. (Specifically, you need a version of SSH that supports gssapi-with-mic.) You do not need to (and should not) forward your Kerberos tickets (that’s why the above command has the “-k”).
