Re: [[cobalt-users] Telnet vs SSH1/2 (was: Server Hacked?)]

[Liz <daldog@xxxxxxxx>]

I've got LOTS of questions on this topic! <smile>

On a Ra3, how about for SSH access?  I have all vsites shell
access disabled, but is there a way to totally disable
Telnet but allow SSH only?

Although I'm still very green in this department I'm going
to guess the answer is "no" since SSH is still shell access,
no matter what color the horse it's painted.  If I'm wrong
on this, please correct me!

Also -- which ssh mode(?) is more secure, SSH1 or SSH2?

I use SecureCRT but I'm not sure which option would be best
or what the difference is between ssh1 or ssh2.  In the
preferences for a SSH2 connection there's two DataFellows
version.  Which one should I be using -- 2.0.13 or 2.0.12??

That is the case on the RaQ3.  If the server admin removes
telnet from a
site, then all users under that site (including the site
admin) loose
telnet.   I am not sure on the Raq2, but I would assume it
to be true.
