SSH to ALOM instead of telnet?
I'm pretty new to admining sun boxes and due to new requirements I needed to learn all about ALOM and the net mgmt port. I got the port set up and it works via telnet with no problem. ALOM and I are good friends now.
Well, what I've come to find is that in ALOM v1.2 (the documentation I found initially, which I thought to be the most recent) there was the ability SSH to the net mgmt port, but in the version on the box I've been playing with (v1.3) and in v1.5 (from what I've found on the web), the "if_connection" "ssh-keygen" and "restartssh" or anything at all related to ssh isn't available. I've searched google, read every dang thing that refered to ALOM here, searched and read just about every doc that I could find in general. What happened to the ability to SSH to the net mgmt port in later versions of ALOM? Is it even possible to set it up?
Now, some of you are going to say "who cares if you can ssh, the port should never be sitting on a network that can be touched, snooped, scanned, looked at funny, seen or even spoken of"
Well due to the nature of my business, the team I've joined, places machines within customer networks with a hardened and stripped down image of Solaris 8. They are basically appliances once they are deployed, however due to the lack of "hands and eyes" support in one particular instance (and possibly future instances), I need to be able to remotely bounce/poweron/poweroff some machines (V210s specifically). I do NOT have, nor do I WANT access on the inside of the customer's network. I can admin my box just fine without ever needing to do anything on the customer's network.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. It just doesn't make sense to me that ssh wouldn't be available, but telnet is.
Thanks
