route-views.routeviews.org (aka. route-views.oregon-ix.net, our Cisco) will start using AAA (Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting) to perform login authentication on 03/29/2004 at ~2300 UTC.

This will present a small change in the way logins are performed. As with route-views3.routeviews.org, the user will be prompted for a username and password. These are anonymous, using the username "rviews" and the password "rviews". The Cisco should not prompt for a password, since it has the capability to have a password-less accounts.

Why? This will allow us to enable ssh and to more easily perform login accounting, which we need for budget justification.

Logins can be automated! See our tools page section about automated queries.
