What you want to do is install the ssh server onto the machine you want to ssh into, if it's not already installed. A lot of distros just call the package "ssh" or "ssh-server" or "sshd" This is a daemon that runs on your machine all the time and accepts incoming connections on port 22. Once the ssh server is running (look in your process list), you can connect to it simply with: "ssh username@hostname (or IP)" - this will connect you to the default ssh port 22 and give you your normal user bash prompt. Naturally you'll need the appropriate ports open (I think most normal distros open up 22 when you start running sshd automatically), firewall(s) allow it, and you have direct access to the hostname/IP you're referencing in your ssh command. - Lyz -- Elizabeth Bevilacqua http://www.princessleia.com _______________________________________________ bclug.org mailing list bclug.org@lists.sitelink.com http://lists.sitelink.com/mailman/listinfo/bclug.org This message was sent to historian@netisland.net
