BluePC network

The BluePC network, also called 'the BluePCs', is the legacy computing infrastructure at CIEAC; it also runs Fedora but the computers are 32-bit, not 64-bit. There is a relationship of trust between the Cluster and the BluePC network, meaning that SSH logins from BluePC computers to the cluster are possible without providing a password; the reverse is not true, thus no logins are possible from the Cluster to the BluePCs.

Unlike the ATLAS Cluster which accepts SSH connections from the outside world, the BluePC network is only accessible from within the CIEAC premises.
