Anyone know anything about this machine? It's on a network we had slated for removal as part of our IHW work. Right now, it's pingable and responding to ssh. It's listed under Narayan's name in hostbase. The network is classified as a Bio Testbed. Can it be turned off or moved to another network? -- Ken Raffenetti Systems Administration Associate MCS Division - Argonne National Laboratory

It's very similar to an "identity" in Userbase. The procedure is to request the hull account from Julie Irvin (jirvin(a)ci.uchicago.edu) You will need to provide the following information: Full name Date of Birth Contact email address Relation to the CI (eg who are you working with, sort of sponsorship). This will let us create a hull account. The account allows for authentication only. That means any service the person wants needs to be added individually (usually via the Grouper system). If someone needs a access to the normal suite of privileges that come with a CNet ID, then they will also contact Julie Irvin but will need to provide more information (such as SSN and resume). Let me know if you need more information.
