telnet with ssl
Hi.
I need to telnet to a server which requires ssl connection to be established.
I have Mandrake 10.1 and am not sure what do I have to do. open-ssl is installed but I dont know if the telnet i am using can use it.
By google i found some telnet-ssl which is unfortunatelly for debian.
Please, how can I get around this?
Thank you.

SSL or ssh?
ssh is like telnet (but better) and encrypted
-
most likely the server is running sshd.. try an ssh client
-
It is accesible by telnet with ssl support (not ssh).

You could dl the debian package and convert it to rpm via alien... or check freshrpms.net and see if there is a rpm available for your version of mandrake.
Also, check the help output and man page for your installed telnet package to see if you can use ssl with a commandline option/argument.

When I read the first post I figured it wouldn't be 2 secs before someone said ssh... then I read the second post
Anyway... I didn't know it either, but I googled and apparently only debian has a ssl version of telnet (or other distros hide it really well)
So might wanna try getting the src from debian and compiling it yourself

Or get a deb package and use the alien (no joke) program.

Good luck
