 In order to figure out your login name the best way is to use the [wiki:GAPI_AM_API_V3#Status status command] of the GENI AM API. Depending of which tool you used to reserve the resources you can get this information in different ways. 
 
 ==== Using Flack ====

 ==== Using Omni ====
+If you are using Omni, then you can run the `sliverstatus` command and get back a text output. If you search within that output you should find a field about the hostname and one about the login. 
+If you are trying to ssh to your hosts from the same machine that you used to reserve your hosts then you can use a script that comes with Omni and you can directly skip to [ this section]. 
 
 ==== Other tools ====
+If you used another tool to reserve your resources, then you should figure out how to get the output of the sliverstatus command. If you can't figure this out please send us an [mailto:help@geni.net email].
