Title: Telnet & SSH
Post by: Likky Lavji on April 16, 2000, 09:23:35 AM

I have changed my system Security settings to public, but still cannot get access as a user.  As root no problems.

With user I get:
"Standard user login services have been disabled"

Also,  can you use the web based mangement from outside the local network?

Thanks

The reason for that is that standard user login services have been disabled! For any user who needs remote SSH access (or telnet access, if you aren't too concerned about security), you need to change the user's shell to /bin/sh, using the "chsh" command, from a root shell.

You can, but only by gaining remote command line access using SSH and using lynx, or w3m (which you can download from http://e-smith.gormand.com.au/). I would strongly advise you not to access the web based management from a telnet session.
