While we work on some issues with the login servers for nyx, we have restricted their access to on-campus networks.

To access nyx from off campus, the best way is to use a VPN client (http://www.itcom.itcs.umich.edu/vpn/) to connect to the U-M network, then log in to nyx as you normally would. You can also log in to one of the ITS login servers (http://www.itcs.umich.edu/login/) and log in to nyx from there.

We moved some of the definitions for private groups from PBS queues into the scheduler back in August and disabled the private queues. We are now removing the queue definitions, just to eliminate the chance for confusion - no changes are necessary or expected.
