RE: [cobalt-users] Cobalt RaQ4 OS Update 2.0 ??

[Jason Vaughan <cobaltlist@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is a quick bit of instruction:

1. Go to Maintenance (on a Raq 4) and select Install Software.
2. Enter http://pkg.nl.cobalt.com/i386/RaQ3-RaQ4-OpenSSH-2.9p2-1.pkg 
into the URL box and hit "Install a 'PKG' Package"
3. Go to http://www.shareware.com and find a suitable SSH client 
application (to run on your PC/Mac to connect to the servers SSH).
4. open your local SSH Application, enter the IP address, username 
and password and hit enter.

You should then be able to cconnect correctly to the server.  One 
advantage of SSH is that you can connect as root (although be aware 
of the dangers of using any server as root). Once connected it is as 
if you are using a regular Telnet session.

5. Go to Control panels and disable Telnet (optional but it will stop 
you from using it by mistake).

I hope this helps.

Regards,


Jason
