How can I configure my Telnet to run thru SSL.

Is there another way of remote administering of my server instead of Telnet?

Yes, there is an ssh client & server available from RedHAT, but they are only furnished for 7.0 and later. It isn't too much of a problem to get OpenSSH running on a 6.2 system, but you'll have the most success if all of the applicable RedHat 6.2 updates have been applied. I can furnish, on request by email to jim@entrophy-free.net, a spiffy script that takes most of the pain out out the update process. With the system current, OpenSSL 9.5a will be there and you can download the OpenSSH sources from http://www.openssh.org, unpack them and configure/build/install ssh. I just did that this weekend to a couple of RAQ's and had no problems with getting ssh running.

moondancer,

Looks like nothing is going to happening here. I'd say to give the points to Haho.
Thanks a ton, jlevie, this has been done.  Asker hasn't logged in since July.
