Title: telnet behind the LAN
Post by: steve on September 13, 2000, 02:58:59 AM

I can use SSH to connect to the esmith gateway/server.  Is it then possible to telnet to another computer within its LAN?  Is this safe, or do I need to use SSH again?  I want to connect to my personal computer which is behind the esmith gateway.....
thanks

I would personally always choose SSH. However, the telnet session will
be tunnelled through the SSH session and therefore protected by it.
