< p >< b style = " color: #FF00FF " > Who is running thunix ? </ b >< br > The current system administrators are < a href = " /~amcclure " > amcclure </ a > and < a href = " /~ubergeek " > ubergeek </ a >.</ p >
< p >< b style = " color: #FF00FF " > What happened to the old thunix ? Why the name change ? </ b >< br > The original machine and founder dissappeared without any warning to anyone , including server staff . For this reason , most things were not backed up , and we needed to obtain a new domain name , and a new set of machines .</ p >

< p >< b style = " color: #FF00FF " > I want a new package installed , or I want something changed on Thunix !</ b ></ br > Excellent ! We ' re looking to make this system useful for the community ! You can submit a PR or an issue < a href = " https://tildegit.org/thunix/ansible " > here </ a > to request the system change .</ p >
< p >< b style = " color: #FF00FF " > Can I get password - based login ? Old thunix had it !</ b ></ br > No . Sorry . Not for shell access . For other integrated services , password auth will be enabled , but not for your ssh connection . We use key based authentication , as it ' s more secure , and more convienent for you , to be honest .</ p >

< p >< b style = " color: #FF00FF " > I want to run { fill in the blank } server , but I can 't seem to access it? </b></br>The only exposed ports to the internet are services as defined in our <a href="https://tildegit.org/thunix/ansible">ansible playbook.</a> If there is a public service you want to see, open an issue, or do a pull request for it, and we' ll probably enable it without much question .</ p >

< p >< b style = " color: #FF00FF " > That ' s too hard ! Can you just open the port up for this service I have running ? </ b ></ br > No . Due to security issues , we cannot . HOWEVER ! You can certainly use an < a href = " https://duckduckgo.com/?q=ssh+tunnnel " > SSH tunnel </ a > to access it .</ p >

< p >< b style = " color: #FF00FF " > Old thunix did { fill in the blank }, and now it doesn 't. Make it work like it used to!</b></br>There was a huge changeover. Maybe we can get something going old thunix had, and maybe not. You can mention it in the IRC channel, and we' ll see what we can do .</ p >
