SSHD is not a replacement for the web based user interface. It's a tool to
access your machine in a telnet-like way.

After installing sshd it will run automatically but you'll need to telnet in
and configure it a bit: at least you have to enter a proper public key in
the proper file so you can log on using sshd. See man sshd for details. You
also need a ssh-clientprogram on the machine you work from.

Stopping telnet is best done through the wb based user interface: just
remove the checkmark before telnet in de control panel section. This way,
you won't get the error message. But remember: if you don't have sshd
configured and you stop telnet, you cannot access the command line any more.

So:
- Install sshd and configure it
- Make sure you can log in through ssh
- Stop telnet through the web based control panel

Hope this helps,
