CLSP Cluster Notes | Day 1

Notes on SSH config

There was a problem I ran into on my Mac when composing the config file under ~/.ssh/, where even though the User was specified for a particular Host, it still defaults to my local system username when logging in via terminal. To resolve the issue, I added the following to the config file:

Host *
    User <remote_login_name>

A solution, yet temporary. I am not sure what will happen if I try specifying a different username for a different host - would I still run into the same problem with the current default?

Notes on tmux

Being a noob, I had no idea where to find the name of my tmux session. Found this on stackoverflow:

tmux display-message -p '#S'

Taught me a lesson: always name a new session to avoid getting lost…
