We have a lot of these coming in as of late (which is awesome!), so we're not doing a great job keeping up. Anyone want to help out with this process? We can give this specific right out to anyone willing to help. - Ryan

Do we actually review the individual requests to look for anything in particular, or just grant access for all who request it? -- Thehelpfulone https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Thehelpfulone

What exactly is Labs Shell Access? Come to think of it, I really don't have much of an idea of what Labs is in the first place. I assumed it was some sort of testing environment, but I've never actually been on it. *-- * *Tyler Romeo* Stevens Institute of Technology, Class of 2015 Major in Computer Science www.whizkidztech.com | tylerromeo(a)gmail.com On Tue, Apr 16, 2013 at 3:48 PM, Thehelpfulone <thehelpfulonewiki(a)gmail.com>wrote;wrote:

Labs is a virtualized environment that's meant for test, development and semi-production uses such as bots or tools. Shell access gives you the ability to ssh into instances (specifically the bastion). Without shell, it's impossible to ssh into any instances. - Ryan

I implemented new function to our bot, now it notifies the #wikimedia-labs channel everytime there are people who are waiting, so hopefully it won't happen in future ;) you can always type @requests in #wikimedia-labs to get a list of users waiting for a shell access On Wed, Apr 17, 2013 at 5:51 AM, Tyler Romeo <tylerromeo(a)gmail.com> wrote:

This is a mechanism to be able to remove shell from trolls and to avoid trolls just creating new accounts to bypass a block. If we have an issue with a troll, we'll let the shell admins know and we'll take action. - Ryan
