[IUG] seeking turnekey Sun server sites using SSH putty telnet

[Cheryl Armstrong <Cheryl dot Armstrong at SFGOV dot ORG>]

Hello Sun turnkey sites.

Now that we seem to have wrestled and lost on establishing the VPN access
to our new OPAC server "behind" the city's firewall for Innovative support,
I would like to hear from sites where system administrators are using ssh
for access to backup and for administrative access.  Here is what
Innovative tells me:

For ssh tunneling, we only need the ssh port open and we'll manage and
support
all III software via ssh tunnel  (.i.e., Millennium and such).

You could actually use ssh to do your system backup and other system
support
functions. All you need is an ssh client software on your workstation, for
example "putty".

I just want to hear your stories and recommendations.
