"download.osgeo.org" is a VM on a so-called "osgeo3" machine hosted
by OSUOSL, but nothing is found on that page about how to access it.
Neither osgeo3.osgeo.osuosl.org nor osgeo3.osuosl.org have a DNS
entry, so I don't even know the IP of that machine.

The same wiki page mentions that "Primary administrators" have ssh
keys to connect to physical machines. This set shuld include Alex and
Markus (and others) in addition to Martin, see:
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/SAC:Primary_Administrators

Markus, Alex: do you not have acces to that machine ?
Martin: any reason not to share that Ganeti access with other SAC
members ? If we cannot control that machine maybe we should move
it elsewhere ?

Besides, the access file on "secure" contains some ganeti
related access credentials, but they don't seem to work.
Should we contact OSUOSL support ?
