Hi Glenn,
This may be of interest... if I only would know what this is all about.
Bastiaan,
SSHDOS is a program very similar to TELNET
It is used for doing a 'secure login' to a shell account.
If you don't have access to a shell account...
then SSHDOS will be of no use to you.
However, for anyone who _does_ have access to a shell account....
the Arachne/SSHDOS interfaces can now be used as a 'front end'
for accessing that shell account from a computer running DOS
(no need to fire-up Linux or windows)
I should say it's quite useful for more than just shell accounts.
I use 'secure shell' between the computers on my little LAN here,
and to access my Linksys router. I can access my home system by
using a cd with RecoveryIsPossible on it, that also has Putty
for windows too, that I keep in my wallet. Sftp and Scp that are
with SSH are very useful too. Much more secure than regular FTP.
I use a passkey on everything, so even tho the login and password
are encrypted instead of cleartext, as in regular telnet and Ftp,
the login is just automatic, no SKeys or anything like that needed.
In 'nix you can use X Forwarding to use GUI apps on the box you
login to also. All that's needed is a SSHD daemon running on the
host you are logging into, and if using a private key, a public
key on the remote host. Everything passed is encrypted or tunneled.
Very useful if you don't want your session hacked or you like
your privacy.
