Hello !

A beginner needs your assistance.....

I installed the program OpenSSH on my server. But unfortunately I cannot
connect with SSH to the server.
(As Windows Client I use the program WinSCP2.)

 Now my questions:
I activate Telent only if I it absolutely need - have Telent with the
program OpenSSH anything to do?
Does the SSH server start automatically, or have to start I the program with
telnet?
If - which instructions do I have to enter?

Who can recommend good sides to me about cobalt RQ4?
I am an absolute beginner and normally only with M$-windows systems trust.


with best regards,
Chris

#1 - You installed SSH.  From where?  openShh.org? from pkgmaster.com? from
	source files?

#2 - Telnet & SSH; however similar in what they do, aren't needed for each
	other to run.  Telnet = Clear Text, SSH = Encrypted.

#3 - Check to see if SSH is running?
	ps -ef | grep sshd

#4 - If it is NOT running, you can TRY (may not work, depending on how you
	installed it.

	/etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd start

#5 - Help Files.

		-> mine, has some stuff up on it (shameless plug).

	I would check out the Knowledge base: 
	
http://cobalt-knowledge.sun.com/cgi-bin/kbase.cfg/php/enduser/std_alp.php

	Read through them ALL, save yourself lots of time.

	Read the manuals
	
http://www.sun.com/hardware/serverappliances/documentation/index.html

	Invest in a good linux book.  I like "RH Linux Unleashed" about $60,
but worth
	it!

Thanks,
