How do I connect directly to node consoles, without going through users?
Clicking “Connect to Serial Line” in the Node Options page will send your browser a “text/x-testbed-acl” “.tbacl” file. In windows, if you have installed tiptunnel, available below, you can save this file in a folder and double-click it to launch a tunneled connection to your node. In FreeBSD or Linux, you can save the file and pass it as an argument to tiptunnel, or associate it with tiptunnel in your web browser. Upon connection you typically first have to hit “enter” to elicit output from the target machine. tiptunnel and set it as the handler for that MIME type, tiptunnel will launch a new telnet running in a new xterm (this may take a few seconds.) That telnet will be connected to a local port, which is tunneled through SSL to your node’s console. Closing the xterm, exiting telnet, or killing tiptunnel itself will end the connection.
