 CIM computers accessible via ssh have fail2ban enabled so that after a number of incorrect tries your IP address will get "banned" from accessing the machine.  This is to prevent brute-force attempts to find a user's password.  The exact number of tries and length of the ban can vary between computers, depending on configuration.  In the event where you lock yourself out of a computer, you can either wait for the ban to get automatically removed after roughly a day, or contact support@cim.mcgill.ca to have us unban your IP.  When contacting us, please let us know what your IP is so that we know which address to remove the ban for. CIM computers accessible via ssh have fail2ban enabled so that after a number of incorrect tries your IP address will get "banned" from accessing the machine.  This is to prevent brute-force attempts to find a user's password.  The exact number of tries and length of the ban can vary between computers, depending on configuration.  In the event where you lock yourself out of a computer, you can either wait for the ban to get automatically removed after roughly a day, or contact support@cim.mcgill.ca to have us unban your IP.  When contacting us, please let us know what your IP is so that we know which address to remove the ban for.
