you don't actually need anything else! check if you have the sshd daemon running (ps ax | grep sshd) and check /etc/inetd.conf to see if the telnet line is commented out. man inetd.conf will help you out. then try $ telnet localhost and $ ssh localhost remember you can't telnet as root! hope it helps pietro.
