telnet or ssh server?

[besonen]

does knoppix have a telnet or ssh server hiding anywhere on the 3.8 cd?

if not, what would be the simplest way to get either a telnet or ssh server up and running on a bootable knoppix cd?


thanks,
david

Knoppix has an ssh server. To start it click on "K > KNOPPIX > Services > Start SSH Server"

You will be asked to create a password for the Knoppix user. Once you do that, you can ssh into the Knoppix machine as user Knoppix.

Hope that helps and let us know how it goes.

Tip: did you know that you can save your settings by using the "saveconfig" script? It's also accessible via the "KNOPPIX" menu.

Telnet is old and is a big security hole. It is not good to be dependent on telent so I use SSH instead.
Boot Knoppix.
Open a command line konsole window.
Become root user:

su -

Change the root user's password:

passwd

Enter the new passwd.

Then change the knoppix user's password:

passwd knoppix

Enter the new passwd.

Start SSH service:

/etc/init.d/ssh start

Logout as root user:

exit
