Hi Rick, Yep, those are the machines you want. Note those host names listed are subdomains below the top-level freebsd.org domain. All of the 'universeNNa' hostnames are jails on a single, relatively beefy server running CURRENT, and the 'universeNNb' hostnames are all jails on a different, relatively beefy server running CURRENT. SSH credentials are the same as for freefall. Conveniently, motd on these machines contains the usual convention for running the universe target on them: Hint: env MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/scratch/tmp/$USER/obj \ make -s -j8 __MAKE_CONF=/dev/null tinderbox I would modify that slightly, replacing -j8 with -j$(sysctl -n hw.ncpu), in the usual case that no one else is utilizing the machine at the same time. -DNO_CLEAN might be quite useful for incremental polishing work on a patch for any previously failed arches. The clean build should finish in under an hour, IIRC.
