Well, first I would suggest getting a close-to-updated copy. If you're going
to go as far as using a secure protocal, I would suggest the newest as
some of the older versions have problems. The location for the newest ssh :
ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/unix/security/login/ssh
The newest version is 1.2.26 :)
Also ... the only thing you should have to do to start ssh is start the
daemon in your rc.local :
/usr/local/sbin/sshd
(that's it)
in the /etc directory it will place all its configuration files and such, but
in all honesty it's just that one line to start it (as root, mind you) and
then you should be able to telnet to port 22 and get the following :
> telnet 0 22
Trying 0.0.0.0...
Connected to 0.
Escape character is '^]'.
SSH-1.5-1.2.26

PS - Let me know what you're doin this weekend, maybe the beer time will work
out better this time.
