Computers

Linux computers share authentication and data directories and can only be accessed locally from within the lab. Home directories are located at /nfs/home/<username> (example: /nfs/home/wei). Because the IPs are not static, excpet for the NFS/NIS server, unplugging a workstation for a long time may cause the IP to change and break user login. Please contact help@sbgrid.org if this happens.

SBGrid's comprehensive collections of structural biology applications is located in the /programs directory.
