Easy DICE SSH

This is my SSH config that makes connecting to DICE easier It goes through the gateway automatically and you don't have to specify your username every time.

To use, add this content to ~/.ssh/config, (or whatever the SSH config file is on Windows), and replace sXXXXXXX with your login.

Once you're set up you should just be able to ssh student.login and enter your password.

If you're using student.compute, you can also ssh student.compute
