Hello,

Does anyone have a problem installing OpenSSH on a PLESK configured server ( server using plesk)? The server is using RH 7.1

I installed PLESK successfully.
I installed OpenSSH successfully.

But I cannot telnet into the server.
Do you know what is the problem?

I edited /etc/xinetd.d/telnet by putting "no" in "disable" line.

And I /etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd restart

Let me know if you have any idea what is wrong.

OpenSSH and Telnet are different services. By enabling OpenSSH does not mean you can telnet. Sent me note off list if I can help you with this?

SSH is a client/server type of protocal.

You only installed SSH on your server.

Now you need to download an SSH client to connect to your server.

Do a search on the web for SecureCRT or WinSSH, you should be able to get them pretty quickly.

Also, how come you can not telnet into your server? Installing SSH does not automatically disable your Telnet.
