are you trying to ssh to ur main setup, from another computer?  In the
same network, or elsewhere?  I dont know what telnet is, but i can ssh
to my gentoo box whenever i need, i just have to have the ports
forwarded. putty works well for that, but you cant (as far as i have
used it) copy files from the box you ssh'd to, via putty, say from
your linux to windows...

For ssh there is a config file, like on mine i don't let anyone ssh
into root, you have to ssh into a user, they su -.  More of a security
issue, but ya it works.  I can send you a option setup for ssh, and
tell you what to do with it if you want, but other thean that it
shouldn't be to hard to google, and read from there on.

Thanks. PuTTY is at least giving me a Username/Password prompt.
I still can't login, however I'm farily sure I can get it working
after learning a bit more about ssh.
