Oregon State University  Shell Access and Unix  ALERT -
Dangerous computer malware    Shell Access:  The ONID shell
server is shell.onid.oregonstate.edu  For detailed instructions
and information on SSH?, please see Network Engineering's Site:
Shell access involves remotely connecting to the server through
SSH. SSH is a protocol which gives users the ability to connect
from one Internet site to another. SSH, a more recent version of
telnet, will open up a session with another host, which usually
involves a login: prompt, and is based entirely in text. The
main difference between telnet and SSH is that SSH is secure and
telnet is not. In SSH, your password is protected from
interception, while in a basic telnet program, your password
could be intercepted by any third party on the internet (though
they'd have to try pretty hard).        Webmonkey UNIX Guide
