Hi, sorry in advance if this sounds a little indiscreet, but I think it would be great if we'd have SSH access against some of the computers used to host buildbots. Personally, I would find this particularly useful for OSX since it's one of the few OSes I can't manage to virtualize and which often causes me problems. Some examples: http://bugs.python.org/issue10340 http://bugs.python.org/issue8490 (this one also involves Solaris)
In such cases I would find more easy to be able to connect to the machine and test myself rather than create a separate branch, commit, schedule a buildbot run, wait for it to complete and see whether everything is "green".
On the other side I perfectly understand how opening up blanket ssh access is not something everyone is comfortable with doing. AFAICR there was someone who was setting up an evironment to solve exactly this problem but I'm not sure whether this is already usable.
Best regards,
