- First I am a newbie to linux I have installed Mandrake Linux 8.2 but have not configured any of the server stuff yet.
I was reading that using openSSH instead of telnet is more secure to remotely access your computer here is my question..
I do not know how to set up SSH so that I can "telnet" remotely log on to my computer. Do I have to set up any of the server stuff first. If so what do I need to set up.
Do you have any easy to follow steps on setting up SSH so that I will be able remotely login to my computer by using a program like putty.
Problem I have found is that most sites assume that you kind of know what you are doing and to be honest I don't, but I am interested in learning so any help or links you could provide would be great.

- Step 1
install SSH ( all the packages openssh-XXXX)
Step 2
start the server from console (you can configure it to start automatically, too):
service sshd start
Step 3
Test the connection
Either from another console, other linux, try
ssh [email protected]
or
from windows, with putty.
If this helps you, don't forget to close this ticket and rate the expert!

- Type /etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd status , ensure it is running. Then type
# ssh localhost -v
Ensure that you can login. Then try PuTTY and record any errors you recieve.

- did you have a firewall setup ( what mandrake security level you specified) ? if this is the case you
need to open port 22 on the firewall.
pls, post the output from:
ipchains -nL
iptables -nL
