The documentation for these steps has room for improvement. In
particular, the SSH setup has been tripping up several people in the
past. When we recently onboarded Zareen as data analysis intern in the
Reading department, she wrote up some notes about the gaps that needed
filling in in her case. These are linked at
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Production_shell_access#Other_tips
and might be helpful here too. Overall this part of the documentation
could use an overhaul with input from someone who has a detailed
understanding of the server setup.
