[TUHS] UNIX and relatives and SSH

Hello from Gregg C Levine One of my less then familiar with UNIX and its relatives, friend, wants to explore a system running UNIX. Probably BSD for the PDP-11 I should think. Since I view telnet, from the Internet to me anyway, as a security risk can someone check this assertion? The last version of BSD for the PDP-11 that I am aware of, and have seen on the site, 2.11 does not have the capability to run SSH, because it does not have the ability to compile it from source. SSH wasn't added to the operating systems that we use until much later. I freely admit that part of my assertion may not be correct however. (Regarding the ability to build SSH natively.) For example, I am aware that the BSD base, such as FreeBSD, and NetBSD, and OpenBSD, all have SSH included. It certainly is in Linux. What I am planning on doing is configuring the Linux version of E11 to run the chosen BSD pointing its Ethernet connection, to the one my Linux box in question uses. And have a second one also running the same release work as a gateway for the first. You'd run SSH to the gateway, login as a "guest" and via an appropriate password, and then telnet to the product. Of course to risk damage to the baseboard Ethernet connection, I'd probably put a cheap card in the computer, and run that over to my router. Pointing it of course to the E11instance. Warren, just for the sake of double checking my facts, are the instructions regarding the BSD family for the PDP-11 up to date? --- Gregg C Levine hansolofalcon(a)worldnet.att.net --- "Remember the Force will be with you.
