telnet

Hello....
I've been having a great time and learned a ton on my little home server... I've been messing around with a little counter-strike dedicated server aswell as a ventrilo server. My problem is that I only have 1 moniter, and its annoying having to crawl under my desk to switch the moniter to my server when I need to do some simple troubleshooting. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a good telnet server setup tutorial, or show me the ropes.... I tried searchin the forums, but everything that came up and i tried to click, came up with a message that said couldn't find post (somthin like that)

thanks a bunch

debian?
apt-get install ssh
should install a secure shell server and client

Whats the secure server and client? And how do I get it?

[deanlinkous]

ssh is the "new" telnet
That command IS how you will get it.

will I need to download the client for my server aswell? and do i need the client on my windows systems, or can i use the built in telnet?

on windows system you need a ssh client, it didn't built in the system

From a windows system you can use "putty" (google for it) to connect to your ssh server. To get help on setting up an ssh server (which is relatively easy) have a look at OpenSSH, and read the man pages on ssh, ssh_config, and sshd_config.

oops sorry I totally forget windows exists anymore
yea, putty is a client for windows

thanks a bunch... I did some hunting around in the /etc directory and found that my debian already had ssh... haha so I just downloaded putty and i got it working all good... just a couple questions... can I use screen on my server through telnet... and also, when I logged on, I logged on as my default user "cstrike"... i put in my password and it let me log in even though the "cstirke" user was alsready logged on... Should it do this?

thanks

Can you explain what you want to do with the screen saver? You want the screen saver to display on the remote machine (the one running Putty)??

You can log in as the same user as many times as you like, so there's nothing to worry about there. It's kinda like having numerous instances of an xterm open, but displayed on many different computer screens, instead of the same one. No worries there
