The only machine that can be reached with ssh from outside the testbed is the management node '''bleek.nikhef.nl'''. Inbound ssh is restricted to the Nikhef network. The other testbed hardware lives on a LAN with no inbound connectivity. Since bleek also has an interface in this network, you can log on to the other machines from bleek.
