Re: [9fans] unix rsa-key with passphrase vs. p9(p)

It isn't just one "cloud machine", and includes several servers that I own, and virtual servers that I lease, and my Internet connections are usually good; if they are not, the machines I'd otherwise connect to outside the house aren't accessible anyway, so I don't need the keys.

xcpu is cool, but it doesn't really have anything to do with either of his questions besides being generally related to HPC. I don't see why you couldn't make linuxemu portable, Ron did something similar to run CNK binaries on Bluegene. john On Fri, Mar 8, 2013 at 3:07 AM, Bence Fábián wrote: >

Hello everyone, can plan9port ssh-agent be used to mediate connection to a ssh server and use a password, or one can only use it in connection with RSA and DSA keys? I tried to add a line like this key proto=pass role=client server=kfes-69.karlov.mff.cuni.cz service=ssh user=sykora !password=blab

I did some work on linuxemu last year, trying to extend it to work with the current linux kernel API. I am happy to share this if you want it. I have diverged from cinap's origional a little but for what are (I feel) good reasons. As far as I know it emulates only X86 32bit linux on exactly that

Hello all, I am studying for a MSc in High Performance Computing at the Edinburgh University, UK. As part of my dissertation project, I was thinking to use Plan 9 as compute node for ARM-based clusters. My idea is to "port" the ideas of Plan 9 on Bluegene to ARM. I have a couple of questions: 1)
