I wouldn't go so far as to say "ssh is the same as telnet". The openssh and openssh-clients packages give you commands which replace the functionality of a lot of insecure programs like rsh, rlogin, rcp, ftp, telnet.
SSH can be used to establish login sessions or run commands, scripts, etc. Example: Use ssh to untar a file on one machine onto another: ssh <target host> dd if=somefile.tar | tar xvf - SSH is cool. -Steve -----Original Message----- From: Michael Kalus [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2003 9:48 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: Telnet Remote Admin Problem > > But in all honesty: > > Use SSH. > > ?? Telnet isn't very secure, everything you do is unencrypted. So someone could sniff out your root password for example. SSH is the same as telnet but encrypted. It should be installed by default in your system: man ssh should give you more info.
