, either the generic names blogin, glogin or the specific names like blogin5, glogin2, etc. This allows the usage of the direct intersite connection HLRN Link, which ich much faster then the internet connection, which is used, when you access the nodes of the other site by the hostnames b/glogin.hlrn.de.
HOME
Each user holds a one home directory on each compute size Emmy and Lise.
- user directory HOME=
/home/${USER}
- configuration files
