-===How to access your PVM===
-Once you have successfully applied for a PVM the next step will be to access your system. For each PVM assigned to a student the SGN will reserve a DNS name following the pattern shown below:
-> pvm-yourUserName
-From our computer pools you will be able to directly access your PVM.
-==Access via VNC==
-Using VNC is a flexible way of getting GUI access to your PVM. Please refer to our [[en:pvm:vnc|VNC Guide]] for details how to establish a VNC connection. Note that PVMs, like PCs in our computer pool, are not available form a location outside the university network without using ssh or vpn.
-==Get access form the Linux PC Pool==
-Getting access to your system form the Linux pool is quite easy. First you need to establish a remote connection via ssh. Use the following command to connect from the Linux command line:
-> ssh yourUserName@pvm-yourUserName
-Once you logged into the system, you will be able to use the linux sudo command. You may customize your system according to your needs.
-==Authentication Services==
-The following authentication services are configured on the PVM system:
-  *  ldap
-  *  krb5
-  *  pam_access.so
-The ldap and krb5 serivces enable access to your PVM by using your SGN user name and password. To prevent other users from accessing your PVM the configuration in /etc/security/access.conf is set to deny every user except:
-  *  root
-  *  admin
-  *  yourUserName
-Please refer to: [[http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man5/access.conf.5.html|manpage access.conf]] for more details.
