Comment on Free NetBSD server user account only for educational purposes
Alphane_Moon@lemmy.world 1 week agoWhen I read “open shell account server” I thought this meant you anyone get access programmatically. This sounded like a disaster.
But turns out, at least with the respect to this NetBSD specific offer, you have to send out an application.

Yeah a shell account is a standard term for getting a terminal access in a shared system going all the way back to mainframes.
Most universities at least in the US had a thing called a Sunsite that came with shell access sometimes.
