Password Encryption (SunOS 5.8)
Hi all,
I have a server in the office that we connect to via telnet. Can anyone explain please how i can encrypt the password so it cannot be picked up in plain text by sniffing software like WireShark, etc.?
I'm not very experienced in Unix, so any ideas or even links would be great.
Appreciate the assistance.
