[Labs-l] permission/access denied issues when connecting to wmflabs

[Ann Samoilenko]

Thank you so much Tim, now I can log in without problems!

I don't think I protected it with extra passwords. I meant when I login, I
use my SSH key and my login/password from Wikitech account.

Anyway, /home/torin8 problem is solved.

Thank you everybody for your help.

Best,
Ann
