Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] ssh or telnet

[Fred F. <ffr...@lo...>]

Telnet is BAD, because even though the machine will not have contact,
any other machine in your LAN that can see the traffic can see your root
password when you su root.

So, use SSH. For that you need to turn on the ssh service
(/etc/sysconfig/config) and open port 22 on your firewall which I can't
remember where the config file is, but if you find it that particular
example is there so you just need to uncomment it.
