[cfarm-users] New website to manage the GCC compile farm

[Baptiste Jonglez]

Dear compile farm users,

We are happy to announce the availability of a new website to manage
access to the farm!

It currently has three end-users functions:

1) the ability to add and remove SSH keys yourself;

2) new users can now request an account directly from the website:
   https://cfarm.tetaneutral.net/users/new/

3) the description of farm machines is generated and updated
   automatically: https://cfarm.tetaneutral.net/machines/list/

This should resolve the growing backlog of unhandled requests.  In the
near future, a ticket tracker will be added for requests that are not
related to accounts or SSH keys.

The site, still in beta status, is available at https://cfarm.tetaneutral.net/

All existing accounts have been imported: to start using the website if
you already had access to the farm, please perform the following steps:

1) Enter your email address at https://cfarm.tetaneutral.net/password_reset/
   You will receive a link, allowing you to choose a password to connect    
   to the website.  If you don't receive an email after a while, you may
   be using a different email address than the one registered in
   the system.  In that case, send an email to cfarm-admins AT lists.tetaneutral.net
   and provide your Unix login.

2) Once connected, you can add or remove SSH keys at https://cfarm.tetaneutral.net/sshkey/list/
   The new keys may take from a few minutes to several hours to get updated
   on all farm machines.

Existing SSH keys have been imported in the new website, with the
exception of old-style plain RSA keys (starting with e.g. "1024 35 ...").
This old key format is not supported anymore: as soon as you change your
SSH keys on the website, these old keys will be overwritten on all farm
machines.

Regards,
Baptiste, for the compile farm admin team
