Well ... you need to install an ssh server on the RH system. That's probably a standard set of Red Hat RPMs. Then set up your init sequence so it starts the sshd server, preferably in standalone mode (that gives a quicker response than running it through inetd). The usual ssh server for Linux is OpenSSH. Assuming you use that, RH probably follows the practice of putting its config files in /etc/ssh . Easiest way to get started is to set it up to use userid/password logins .. which you do with the line "PasswordAuthentication yes" in sshd_config. Then run any decent ssh client (e.g., the OpenSSH one on Linux systems; puTTY on Windows systems). The first time you connect, the client should warn you that the system is not already known to it, so you'll have to confirm that you want to connect to it anyway. Be sure you use an up-to-date version of OpenSSH. A security hole was found in OpenSSH about 18 months ago (or thereabouts; this is from memory), so older versions are vulnerable. For more systematic instruction, I'm sure there is still an SSH HowTo. Try www.linuxdoc.org if you don't have it on your system in convenient form. -- -----------------------------------------------"Never tell me the odds!"-------------- Ray Olszewski -- Han Solo Palo Alto, California, USA [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
