I wsa having problems setting up ssh, I really have no idea on how SSH works and the tutorial I used wasn't working. I don't know if it's my terminual (SSHTerm from 3sp dot com) or my server setup. I just think I did something wrong. I'm just trying to go fast here. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tyler Gee" <geekout@gmail.com> To: "Adam" <adam@jamradar.com> Cc: <freebsd@celestial.com>; <freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org> Sent: Thursday, December 16, 2004 1:57 PM Subject: Re: Can't SU to Root on Telent > Are you sure you want to be using telnet?
