Can't using Telnet or SSH service

Hi,How can I active telnet and SSH services to remote admin my server? I've just installed Solaris 10 onto my SunFire V100 but I can't telnet or ssh to it. I have to use the console port <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_sad.gif" border=0 alt="Sad">Thanks.

Are you sure the network is configured?What is the output of ifconfig -a ?Mark

Hey there,

To enable 'telnet' on Solaris 10 run the following command...

svcadm enable network/telnet

To enable 'ssh' on Solaris 10 run the following commands...

/lib/svc/method/sshd -c

svcadm enable network/ssh

First command created creates the necessary key pair for ssh, the second enables the ssh service.

Hope this helps,

Mick.

Hi,by the way: My solaris 10 (x86) had appears to have telnet activated by default. Is there some reason or is it safe to switch it off?Cheers, Peter

Keep in mind that you cannot directly logon as root, could that be the reason why you think its not active right now ?

That means you're trying to log in as root, don't do that. Log in as a normal user and su to root.

There should be a way to telnet using root. Is this possible, if so what are the changes that should be made..thanks,pavan

Have to agree with ifinzen that you really don't want to do that unless you're in a completely secure environment.

If you are, however, edit the file

/etc/default/login

and comment out the CONSOLE line so that it reads

# If CONSOLE is set, root can only login on that device.

# Comment this line out to allow remote login by root.

#CONSOLE=/dev/console
