Setting up SSH on the Mandrake PC
I try to set up as much as I can for remote access on my main workstation, a nice Windows PC with dual monitors (Matrox dual head is my choice). I CAN turn around and access my other PC's that are hooked up to a KVM. It's not as comfortable and one monitor just isn't as cool.
I needed to install the SSH server.
I can't remember the name of the RPM, I just did a searh for SSH in rpmdrake
& checked the server for install.
(I already iknew the server wasn't installed on this system but FYI, I found out
you can check for SSH with this command: rpm -qa | grep openssh
AND of course, in this case, security is not an issue. This box is just sitting
on my LAN. If this were a public web server I'd be studying A LOT before just
blindly installing SSH like this.)
Next, start the SSH server:
/etc/init.d/sshd start
I logon using Putty, but I think telnet 172.16.1.XXX 22 would work too.
