As part of an ongoing effort to secure logins and comply with RPM and DOE requirements, the Computer Protection Program will begin to disallow inbound telnet connections starting on August 1. More information is available online, see Section 9.02D10civ and DOE Notice 205.11. If you use telnet to remotely access Lab machines, you'll need to switch to secure shell (ssh) or some other program that encrypts each password that is entered. Many Linux and UNIX systems have ssh built in, and you can obtain free versions of ssh for other systems. For help, contact the Help Desk at x4357 or send email.
