Good point, Michael. SSH would indeed be superior to both telnet and webmin. Dave On Tuesday 15 May 2001 19:54, thus spake Michael D.

I was assuming that he would have a separate firewall PC in place to block outsiders from his LAN. Telnet within the LAN would then be *relatively* safe.

Re: [newbie] Hmmmm...Might be a silly question
Why not use webmin?? If Rod has a DSL or Cablemodem Internet connection, telnet would leave his system open to attacks (i.e; Hackers!), whereas webmin wouldn't because it's very secure. Either way, it's not a silly question!

I have a server here with no monitor or mouse, just a keyboard (this particular system won't work without one, gives a "keyboard error, press f1" message when booting if it does not find a keyboard) You will most likely need a monitor and keyboard to do the install, but once installed you should be able to remove both. You should be able to do most of the configuration via webmin or telnet. *** -- Alex Kernel Panic is General Failure's second in command

Is there a way to setup my inhome network? What I want to is to put my server in the basement and have no keyboard, monitor or mouse attached to it and be able to control or make adjustments from my other computer somewhere in the house?

Re: [newbie] Hmmmm...Might be a silly question
Quite easily done, actually. After installing the software and configuring your server for what you need, just set it up where you want it. Make sure you can telnet into your server from another PC on your home network. If you want, configure a remote X session so you can run X on your PC and have a graphical interface to the server. Finally, remove the keyboard, mouse and monitor from the server.
