temporary test server access for @thefourtheye

[jbergstroem]

In order to resolve issues for a set of hosts with stalling tests related to nodejs/node#10456, @thefourtheye is requesting access to a few machines.

@thefourtheye could you perhaps list the one's you want to do further investigation with so we can approve and arrange it?

[thefourtheye]

Whenever I run CI on that PR, the leftover processes will be there in almost all the machines. So I'll have to clean them in all of them. I am fixing them case by case basis, e.g nodejs/node#10597 fixes SmartOS failures (hopefully).

Is it possible to get permissions for all of them?

[jbergstroem]

Since Linux looks mostly ok, how about we for instance start with smartos, plinux and windows? I can facilitate the former; not sure how we create temporary accounts for windows. @joaocgreis?

[Trott]

The only ones that I noticed stalled jobs on were SmartOS and FreeBSD, so I'd be sure to include access to those two at a minimum.

[jbergstroem]

@Trott: @thefourtheye mentioned [on IRC] that he was running FreeBSD locally and that the failures/stalls was similar across os'es. I think he's doing local testing at the moment.

[thefourtheye]

Setting up the FreeBSD vm in a slow internet connection. I'll update the status about that tomorrow.

[mhdawson]

Let me or @gibfahn know when you need access to plinux/aix

[jbergstroem]

I can arrange it as well; seems like we have me and @mhdawson (so far?) approving your access.

[gibfahn]

+1 to giving @thefourtheye access

[joaocgreis]

I also approve giving @thefourtheye access. According to our docs, giving temporary access to a collaborator can be done immediately, so I went ahead and created a temporary account on a Windows machine (emailed credentials). Given that stalling tests can interfere with normal CI runs, I disconnected the machine from CI.

[jbergstroem]

@joaocgreis true. I will help facilitate the rest on demand, as well as making a note here on when access is granted and finally revoked.

[mhdawson]

To confirm +1 from me.

[thefourtheye]

Thanks people :-) I finally managed to setup a FreeBSD instance locally and test this. nodejs/node#10822 looks like fixes it. PTAL.

[joaocgreis]

@thefourtheye Still using the machine? If you are, no rush, just let me know when you're done!

[gibfahn]

ping @thefourtheye @joaocgreis , I think this can be revoked now.
