Is that true?<br /> <br /> <br /> ====Resolution====<br /> Secure Shell (SSH) Will Replace Telnet at Southwest Cyberport<br /> on October 15, 2001<br /> <br /> <br /> Beginning October 15, 2001 Southwest Cyberport will no longer accept telnet<br /> connections. Only users of our UNIX shell accounts will be affected by this<br /> change. If you do not know what Telnet or a shell account are you can safely<br /> ignore this message (only 6.4% of Internet users use telnet). This change<br /> will *not* affect any other service, such as web browsing, email, FTP, or<br /> Usenet News.<br /> <br /> Only SSH access to shell accounts will be allowed. We do not wish to<br /> discourage remote logins. However, we strongly believe it is neccessary for a<br /> secure protocol like SSH to be used for remote logins. If you&#039;re interested<br /> in more information about why SSH is important you should visit<br /> http://www.openssh.org/faq.html#1.2<br /> <br /> There are other common protocols in use which are also insecure such as POP<br /> and IMAP. We have decided to eliminate Telnet first largely because there is<br /> a widely-available replacement, SSH. We will be working to provide secure<br /> versions of the other protocols in the near future.<br /> <br /> If you do not already have an SSH client and you intend to login to our UNIX<br /> network, you will need to install one. There are many free and commercial<br /> versions readily available:<br /> <br /> Windows:<br /> http://www.vandyke.com/products/securecrt/index.html<br /> http://www.openssh.com/windows.html<br /> http://www.datafellows.com/products/ssh/client/<br /> http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty<br /> <br /> Mac:<br /> http://www.datafellows.com/products/ssh/client/<br /> http://www.openssh.com/windows.html<br /> http://www.lysator.liu.se/~jonasw/download/niftytelnet-1.1-ssh-r3.hqx<br /> <br /> Unix<br /> http://www.openssh.com/<br /> http://www.datafellows.com/products/ssh/client/<br /> http://www.ssh.com/<br /> <br /> If you have any questions, please email help@swcp.com or call us at<br /> 505-232-7992 (or 888-792-7266 from outside Albuquerque).<br /> <br /> Thanks,<br /> <br /> SWCP Staff<br /> <br /> ====Related URLS====<br /> http://www.vandyke.com/products/securecrt/index.html<br /> http://www.openssh.com/windows.html<br /> http://www.datafellows.com/products/ssh/client/<br /> http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty<br /> http://www.ssh.com/<br /> http://www.lysator.liu.se/~jonasw/download/niftytelnet-1.1-ssh-r3.hqx<br /> <br /> <br /> ====Related KB articles====<br /> [[KB 129]] Why can&#039;t I login with ssh?
