It's possible to use SSH to connect to your LWP directly.
We have a login server available to access your home directory, so you don't have to leave your own PC turned on. It's not a big machine, so don't use it to do your work on or you'll bother other users trying to access their files.
Connecting to the LWP from home with SSH.
Replace ssh.lwp.rug.nl with the hostname or ip-address of the machine you're trying to connect to.
Add your p-number to the allowed users list
On the host you are trying to connect to, add your p-number to the file /etc/users_allowed_ssh.
Set up your own system
Make your life easier by creating a ~/.ssh/config file and adding the following:
host lwp user <username> ForwardX11 yes HostName ssh.lwp.rug.nl or hostname or ip-address
Then connect with:
ssh lwp
Enter your password and you should find yourself in your home directory.
