Hi, I'd like to add an extra measure of protecting your ability to get in the machine should SSH go down: You can move telnet over to an unconventional port. To do so modify the following: 1) change the entries in /etc/services to reflect the new telnet port. 2) make modifications to your firewall rules (if necessary). 3) change /etc/cobalt/swatch/services/telnet to reflect the new telnet port. This last change will allow the GUI to report telnet services up or down. I moved telnet and left it up because I saw other admins have problems with SSH that eventually locked them out of their machines. I am not revealing my telnet port for security reasons. Choose your carefully after a bit of research.
