Telnetd now SSHD

[Paul Guba]

Thanks William you are right after some quick reading I realized this.  
I have SSHD installed on my server have not checked to see if it is 
configured correctly.  No errors on start up though.  Need to configure 
on client side for OSX also.  Looking for a how to.  I thought I saw on 
the list problems with MYSQL and SSHD together any thoughts.  Would like 
to access MYSQL through SSH any issues there.
