The BWIlab has several desktop computers that can be accessed via ssh.

Password logins are disabled outside the UT networks. If attempting to login from elsewhere, you will need your ssh public key saved on your user space on the remote machine. Users are managed by the bwilab computer admin. You should have received your credentials via stache.utexas.edu.

To create and add an ssh key, do these commands on your local machine:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096

Follow the prompts to save in the default location and put something in the password field. Then you can add your public key to the remote server with the following command, substituting your username and the name of the machine you wish to access:

ssh-copy-id <username>@<machine name>.csres.utexas.edu

Lastly, ssh into the machine with:

ssh <username>@<machine name>.csres.utexas.edu

Your public ssh key will be located in the file ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the remote computer.
