Summary: Secure telnet is a simple network utility designed to connect you to machines across the Internet. When you use SSH, you are actually logging into another machine, such as when you log into EA, E4E or Orion.
To connect to a 'remote' system (any computer that you're not currently logged on to), login to your EA account, (Type 'q' {quit} to exit from the EA menu if needed), or login with your UCINetID at the terminal server prompt. Then type:
ssh hostname
Where hostname is the name of a machine on the network on which you have an account, like ea.nacs.uci.edu or e4e.nacs.uci.edu. This should bring up a login prompt similar to:
Trying 128.200.80.22 ...
Connected to ea.nacs.uci.edu.
Escape character is '^]'.
SunOS UNIX (ea.nacs.uci.edu)
login:
At this point, you are free to login normally. It's as if you had called into that machine directly. To disconnect from the 'remote' machine, just type exit at the prompt. Doing this should close the connection to that machine as well as quit Telnet. When the connection is closed you should get a message like:
Connection closed by foreign host.
That's it! As always, if you have any questions (or answers) talk to an NACS consultant in either the Lab B Consulting office or EG2130 in the Engineering Gateway building or send e-mail to nacs@uci.edu.
