How can I connect to my server using SSH on the client side?  The client is
using windows.  Do they make any SSH programs for windows?  Thanks again...

Xinetd is the modern replacement.  It starts internet services on demand

Look in /var/www right where the Linux Standard Base and File Hierarchical
System 2.2 (FHS2.2) say it should be.

Really don't use telnet.  It is antiquated and insecure.  I have software on
my machine which can twist the ends of a telnet connection so that they are
desynchronized and then my machine becomes the glue that holds the
connection
together and I have a chance to snarf all the communications and make
tasteful changes as well.  ssh is much more secure and already loaded by
default.  To connect,

ssh username@mymachine,mydomain.com

on the client side and everything is encrypted.  Otherwise you are on the
machine just like a telnet connection once your password is validated.

If you absolutely must have telnet, the server and client are on your
install
CDs, just not loaded by default.
