-====== Accessing the cluster ======
-==== Setting up X-Win32 ====
-To set up the terminal in X-Win32, follow these steps:
-  * Window's Start -> X-Win32 2012 -> X-Config
-  * Under the "Connections" tab, select //"Wizard"//
-  * **Name:** cluster ( or anything that you want ), **Type:** select //"ssh"//
-  * **host:** cluster.biac.duke.edu
-  * **Login:** your username, **Password:** (if you leave this blank, you will be prompted later)
-  * **Command:** click //"Linux"//
-  * Click //"Finish"//
-If your new connection doesn't show up, Click "OK", then re-open X-Config.
-  * Click your saved configuration, then //"Launch"//
-  * A terminal window should appear and you may be prompted to enter your password if you didn't originally save it.
-  * Also, if its your first connection, you'll be prompted to allow connections from cluster.
-Once the terminal is usable, all graphical forwarding should work.  Type, "nedit" on the command line to test.
-The next time you want to connect, you can open X-Config and simply "Launch" your saved connection.  If you drag the connection to the "Autostart" folder, it will open automatically when you open X-Win32.
-==== Access from Mac or Linux ====
-To access the cluster from a Mac or Linux machine, open your terminal window (for Mac usually the program "terminal", Centos is konsole or xterm) and run the following command
-   ssh -X username@cluster.biac.duke.edu
-The -X parameter enables the forwarding of graphics.
-  * after major OSX updates sometimes it is required to re-install XQuartz and reboot
-  * if you're experiencing x-forwarding timeout failures its usually because SSH on OSX only forwards graphics for 10 minutes by default. You can change this behavior by setting a timeout in your local ssh config file ( ie: ~/.ssh/config )
-<code>
-Host *
-    ForwardX11 yes
-    ForwardX11Timeout 596h
-</code>
-==== Multifactor Authentication ====
-Now that Duo [[https://oit.duke.edu/net-security/security/multi-factor-authentication.php|MFA]] is required for access, you will be prompted for a second factor of authentication and will have a few options.
-<code>
-Enter a passcode or select one of the following options:
-. Duo Push to XXX-XXX-1447
-. Phone call to XXX-XXX-1447
-. SMS passcodes to XXX-XXX-1447
-Passcode or option (1-3):
-</code>
-**Passcode**: is the 6 digit code that you may get from the Duo Security App, or a text message\\
-or\\
-**option ( 1-3 )** refers to one of the 3 options from the list.  additionally you could type the word "push" to receive a push notification to your registered device
