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.

Try su - and you should get the full root enviroment. But in all honesty:

I might be off here, but I think the specs only support two ports in the

I have a rather strange problem with Hushmail under Linux. Hushmail uses a
Java Encryption engine which needs to be executed in the webbrowser.
The problem I am facing is that for some reason Hushmail claims that Java is

The main problem I see with things like Webmin is that they remove the
"user" from the real system. If they don't have Webmin available later when
something is wrong they might not be able to fix the problem.

The
problem is most likely a lack of DNS resolution, so it waits until it times
out.
You
can either try to turn of DNS lookup (don't know off hand right now where to
configure it) or make sure that the host that is connecting has an entry in
