 +The gps computer does the user authentication for the control side while ctrscrut provides the home directories. Yellowpages is gone, the new paradigm is LDAP (local directory access protocol). If you can't log on to computers on the control network, then make sure both ctscrut (michelson) and gps computers are running. If the login screen screen on ctrscrut says "Ubuntu Administrator" and has no user accounts, then check to make sure gps computer is on. If you restart gps, then you might have to reboot ctrscrut to get the user accounts. If ctrscrut was rebooted, you might have to reboot other control network computers if you can't log on.
