Shell servers
About logging into Shell or Git servers.
There are public shell servers (a.k.a. time-sharing servers) for all active users at KTH, accessible with SSH. Shell servers can also be used for file transfer with SCP/SFTP to AFS home directories. Some departments also have dedicated computational servers or resource machines.
Public servers
Only users affiliated with KTH have access to log in. Use the server that matches your affiliation (student, staff, etc).
student-shell.sys.kth.se — students, including master students. Alternate servers are available if the primary is overloaded, see student-shell-2 etc. below.
guest-shell.sys.kth.se — others affiliated with KTH.
If you cannot use Kerberized SSH (GSSAPI) to log in, download the list of host keys below and copy into your ~/.ssh/known_hosts before logging in.
- List of host keys known_hosts (txt 15 kB)
- Key fingerprints in sha256 (txt 5 kB) , md5 (txt 5 kB) and bubblebabble digest (txt 6 kB) format
If your local Kerberos configuration (/etc/krb5.conf or the equivalent) contains rdns=false or dns_canonicalize_hostname=false, you should use the server's FQDN …shell-1.sys.kth.se rather than the alias …shell.sys.kth.se.
