[cobalt-users] Raq - SSH - steps

["Pro Properformance as" <post@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Roger,

please shut down your telnet server _now_ as many people got to know that
your server 'properformance.no' seems to be easy to hack...

Using SSH is quite easy and well described here:

Thanks Hendrik,

I shutted down the telnet server when I saw you post.
I will work further on the case, seems like it showed up
a lot of other useful information as well.

I will try the steps from Jason Vaughan, first of all.




I adding the steps if someone missed they.

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
