You say that the same app handles both telnet and console logins. I assume
that this applies to ssh logins, right?
When I am logged in using ssh from a different computer, some commands are
not available, such as "shutdown" - sorry, I can't recall the others that
were missing. Although obviously you cannot expect to run graphical apps
through a telnet-like interface, why can I not run "shutdown"?
Is this a global condition that applies to all distros / situations, or is
it just a quirk of the way I installed ssh? I would think that ssh is the
same as telnet in this way... right?
In any case, is there a way to enable the shutdown command, and other
commands that are disabled from running remotely?
Thanks.
