Policies
Violating these following terms can permanently terminate your use of the VM
Aside from the normal morals of using someone else's machine:
- Don't distribute your private key. Only you are allowed to log into the server.
- Don't fill up the disk, and if you do then it's your job to pester the other users to clean their shit
- Don't fool with network resources (ever), incl. attacking internal COSI services
- Don't perform DoS attacks
- Don't download large files at ridiculous speeds
Administrative Stuff
Adding a User
Add the user
adduser <username>
Come up with some password and then forget it (it's not necessary to remember, the user can set it but it does nothing since you can't ssh over password (only public key) and there's no sudo for users.
Add their SSH public key
Log in as root, and make a file at /etc/ssh/authorized_keys/<username>
Edit that file to contain their public key, and then profit. (contact the alumnus)
(hint: if you're in console but have access to their ssh public key over the network, do this:)
ssh <you>@<your-machine> "cat <theirkey>" > afile
Then copy "afile" to the auth keys folder as root and check permissions.
The authorized_keys folder nor the username file should be editable by anyone besides root for security reasons.
Deleting a User
deluser <username>
If you want, remove their home directory as well:
rm -rf /home/<username>
