ssh explained
 

Hi group!

I wud like to learn abt 'ssh' in a very newbie style. Cud someone refer me to some latest howtos. I wud like to know
things like how it functions and waht are its capabilities. So, what I really want is not a tutorial on how to implement
ssh but an article explaining what ssh is. I have gone through the man pages.

Thanks in advance.

Here's an article to start with. Includes links for further reading fun.

First thing to do is to make sure telnet is disabled!
