Okay, here's what I'm trying. I just installed DSL, and I'm going to try to configure it, tomorrow.

I want to run a small terminal server, using SSH. It would be accessed by (at most) myself and two others. The hardware should be more than sufficient. I'm running it on a 266 MHz PII, with 256 Mb of RAM (256 MB swap, as well). All remote logins would be text-only.

Has anyone tried this with DSL, who could share their experiences? Any special quirks to watch out for?

Hi there, when I found out that DSL was running an SSH server as standard, I plugged my laptop into the network. Low and behold I could login into the laptop as root using the IP address (Libretto 70CT P120MHZ, 32MB RAM). So I think your machine should cope no problem! ;)

Best of luck.

Okay, thanks!

You mean, there was no special ssh configuration, or anything? It's all pre-setup? Wow...

Well, don't forget to first set a password for whoever you want to log on through ssh as.

e.g.
sudo su
passwd damnsmall blah
