Note: If you are not a Computer Science student you can replace csil.cs.ucsb.edu with linux.engr.ucsb.edu instead.

As of 2020 this single username is a load balanced solution that should be used for all ssh classroom and lab needs.

Please note that Fedora is upgraded between quarters and if you have connected to csil.cs.ucsb.edu before you will receive a warning when logging in:

The ECDSA host key for csil.cs.ucsb.edu has changed...
Offending ECDSA key in /Users/yourusername/.ssh/known_hosts

You will need to edit your known_hosts file in the hidden .ssh folder.  Simply search for csil.cs in the known_host file on the machine you are connecting from and delete the line.  When you connect again, the new key will be copied in its place.

If you cannot find your .ssh folder, you can see hidden files and folders by using the following command: ls -al

Note for returning students:  You no longer need to search around for available csil-XX.cs numbered systems.  You only need to use one host name (csil.cs.ucsb.edu) for ssh access.
