Installing SSH

SSH is how Unix geeks connect via command line to other unix boxes. The AAO comes without SSH installed, making it one of the poorest distributions of linux ever. Install it as follows

sudo yum install openssh-clients open-ssh*

add
service sshd start
to your
/etc/rc.d/rc.local
file

Reboot and test it with

ssh 127.0.0.1

You should be asked to accept a key. Type "yes", and enter your password to login. Type "w" to see where you are logged in from.
