Before requesting access to the jungle machines, you must be able to access the
`ssfhead.bsc.es` node (only available via the intranet or VPN). You can request
access to the login machine using a resource petition in the BSC intranet.

Then, to request access to the machines we will need some information about you:

1. Which machines you want access to (hut, owl1, owl2, eudy, koro...)
1. Your user name and user id (to match the NFS permissions)
1. Your real name and surname (for identification purposes)
1. The salted hash of your login password, generated with `mkpasswd -m sha-512`
1. An SSH public key of type Ed25519 (can be generated with `ssh-keygen -t ed25519`)

You can send us both an email at <rodrigo.arias@bsc.es> and
<aleix.rocanonell@bsc.es> with the details, or directly open a merge request in
the [jungle repository](https://pm.bsc.es/gitlab/rarias/jungle/).
