ssh on solaris 8

[7280]

Hi,
i'd like to install and configure ssh on a solaris 8 machine and then disable telnet.
Can you just suggest me the main steps to follow and where to
retrieve ssh?
I have found openssh, is it the software i need?
Thanks
Tarek

Download OpenSSH and the other dependant files from

http://www.sunfreeware.com

(OpenSSL, TCP Wrappers, zlib, etc.). There are also step-by-step instructions on installing and configuring OpenSSH and TCP Wrappers.

To disable telnet comment out the appropriate line in /etc/inet/inetd.conf

#telnet stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/local/bin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.telnetd

You also need to make sure that patch 112438-01 is installed as well

Hi,

I have installed open SSH on my sunfire V100 following the instructions at

http://www.sunfreeware.com

and strangely I am unable to ftp into the box. My SSH with putty works fine, but I have used many sftp clients like cute FTP, Secure SFTP and PSFTP (from putty), but unable to transfer files.
1. Using PSFTP and Secure SFTP I am able to atleast connect and the transfer times out
2. Cute FTP is unable to connect to the server.
I have made sure it is connecting to port 22.
Any help will be appreciated
