Errr... I know how to turn off the telnet daemon on FreeBSD. But I have programs on my AS/400 that log on to my FreeBSD machine using Telnet (I have some home-grown software that acts something like an expect script). So I can't turn off telnet into the BSD box until the AS/400 supports an SSH client... that's where I was going with this. In other words, I wasn't wondering how to turn off telnet, but how to replace it with SSH when the AS/400 needs to be a client. Not sure why you think that this is off-topic. It's about the OS/400 supporting SSH which is certainly midrange-related! On Wed, 14 Nov 2001, James Rich wrote: > > I have telnet turned off on all my internet-accessible unix boxen.
