telnet vs ssh (Was: RE: [cobalt-users] 32 site limitation update)

[Jeff Lasman <jblists@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The root password doesn't have to be the same <smile>; that's just the 
Cobalt default.

Has anyone gotten SSH running on the RAQ2?  I'd like to get rid of telnet; 
we don't use it on any of our intel-linux boxes.

Passing your root password in unencrypted packets is NOT a good idea (imho).
