Current situation:

== Available Machines ==
* "build1": ssh address@hidden -p 2200
** This is the general login machine where we make user accounts for 
people. Only FSF Sys Admins and Lemote has root on this box.
* "build2": ssh -A address@hidden -p 2200 and then ssh address@hidden
** ompaul (#gnewsense IRC) has root on this box. Currently it's just his 
playground.
* "build3": ssh -A address@hidden -p 2200 and then ssh address@hidden
** ompaul (#gnewsense IRC) has root on this box. Currently it's just his 
playground. Dclark suggested he find someone else to hand it off to if 
he doesn't need it.
* The below email references 4 machines but only has info on 3. We 
should see what's up with that; perhaps 192.168.29.1 or 192.168.29.4 
exist...

=== Initial email from Lemote ===
See [http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/private/lemote/2008/000007.html here] 
for full thread.

Dear all,
Lemote has setup a compile farm of four Lemote mini-PC, you can access
it via:

ssh <user>@dev.lemote.com <mailto:root at dev.lemote.com> -p 2200

Current user & passwd:
1. root <censored>
2. user <censored>

After login, you can connect to 192.168.29.2 192.168.29.3 to use other
machines.

Please use it freely.

Any problem,please contact us.
</pre>

== New Account Creation on build1 ==
Uses a slightly modified version of the user creation script used on 
[[fencepost.gnu.org]]; the syntax for adding new users is the same.

=== New Account Creation Email ===
Change the "CHANGEME" before sending...
<pre>
Your account on the Lemote-provided Loongson 2f build farm has been created.

Most recent documentation:
http://wiki.gnewsense.org/Projects/GNewSenseToMIPS#toc180

You should be able to login to the primary machine with:
ssh address@hidden -p 2200

We haven't figured out how to deal with the 2 additional machines yet; 
put probably will make the most sense to have them be for special 
projects / distcc slaves instead of additional login boxes. If you are 
willing to help with the setup of that, or have ideas on the best setup, 
please direct those emails to address@hidden (you are now 
a member of that list).

Please direct any discussion regarding your project(s) topics to your 
project(s) mailing lists (i.e., anything about the gNewSense port to 
mipsel/loongson 2f should go to the gnewsense mailing lists).

Thanks,
