RE: [cobalt-users] Cobalt RaQ3 Backup

["Simon Pierce" <simon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Thanks for your reply Glenn. Do you reccomend SSH because telnet is
insecure?

I would be extremely grateful if you could just explain a couple of points:

> 1) Installing the SSH 3.0x package on your RaQ

Where can I find such a download?

> 2) login as root,  edit /etc/services

In what way do I edit it - do I add or remove something?

> login using SSH, comment out the line telnet tcp  23

Is this okay? Is there any way of restarting it afterwards?

I'm sorry about all the questions, but I really need to sort this out!!

Cheers,

Si

Hello,

I would strongly suggest:
1) Installing the SSH 3.0x package on your RaQ,
2) login as root,  edit /etc/services, get an SSH client for
your  computer, login using SSH, comment out the line telnet tcp  23, which
turns off telnet (after restarting /etc/rc.d/init.d/inet)
3) Use scp which gets installed with the SSH package for secure file
transfer.

I use rsync with SSH to push backup data from my servers to a dedicated
backup server. I am able to do this across the entire Cobalt product line.

PS: The Arkeia Tape backup freeware version allows 1 server and one client.
With rsync performing the transfers to the backup server, I end up not
having to utilize one client on the network! That save $1000s in software
expenses!!!

Cheers,
Glenn
