SSH enable, Telnet disable ...
Hi...

How do I enable SSH and disable telnet..

Also - is there anything special I need to do to ensure that a new user can use ssh and su but not telnet?

you can disable telnet in /etc/services file . Just put a # comment at the telnet line. Then restart or kill -HUP initd
you can also comment out telnet line in the inetd.conf file.

It depends on the version of Solaris, Solaris 10 is different from its predecessors.

in solaris 9 ssh is enabled per default. to disable telnet follow ghostdog74 instructions. if you want to enable the root login per ssh edit the following line in your /etc/ssh/sshd_config and restart the ssh daemon. (or pkill -HUP sshd)

PermitRootLogin no (<-- to yes)
