You can get PUTTY SSH client for windows (98,ME,NT,Win2K), and it's free. http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ The PUTTY console is much better than the windows telnet console too. Now you can exclusively use SSH (and disable telnet in inetd.conf) without any hassle. - Scott > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Marco > Radzinschi > Sent: October 14, 2001 1:15 AM > To: FreeBDS-Questions > Subject: How safe is SSH? > > > Hello: > > I have my firewall blocking port 23 (telnet), but allowing port 22 > (SSH) to go through.
