To get free shell the first thing you need to do is to request it by web form. Then you need to come to our irc

After you submitted information in the web registration form, you need to come to our irc network irc.bsdnet.net channel #shells. Then you need to read topic, and give a private message to the operator who is responsible for accounts activation (its always written on the channel topic). Writting a message remember to type your username that you used in web registration form. And he will activate your account, also giving you an information, login, passwords, etc…

Thats all

After activation, administrator gives some information to you, similar to:

User Account have been created with this information:
Username: user
Password: password
Hostname: somehost.eofnet.lt
Port:     000
Protocol: SSH

You will need this information to connect to your shell. I will exmplain how to connect to free shell by some common used operating systems. For example we have:

Username: john
Password: john123
Hostname: host1.eofnet.lt
Port: 122
Protocol: SSH.

You need to download ssh compatible client, i prefer you to use PuTTy. Then you download it, execute and enter hostname, select ssh protocol, enter its port, (also you can click “save” to save server in application's database). Then you click open and PuTTy connects to host, you need to enter your username and password. Thats All!

You need openssh package for your *nix distribution. It can be found on its installation media or google for it! Using the simple command to connect:

ssh -l john host1.eofnet.lt -p 122

Enter your password and You are IN!

As you login to the shell you can see the main menu

Options:

• Show allowed ports - Shows ports that you can use to bind some TCP/IP services like bouncers.
• Show your private IPv6 address - Shows your private IPv6 address (its for use with bouncers and irc clients).
• Install some software - This option shows another menu with optional software to install.
• Go to the shell prompt - Returns you to the shell.

Every time you need this menu just simply write “start” at the shell prompt and press “ENTER”.
