SSH (http://www.novell.com/company/glossary.html#4187)
OpenSSH (http://www.openssh.org), a free version of SSH connectivity tools developed by the
OpenBSD Project (http://www.openbsd.org/).
Linux administrators often use SSH to remotely access a server for management purposes, such as
executing shell commands, transferring files, etc. Because many OES 2 services can be managed at
a command prompt via an SSH session, it is important to understand how SSH access is controlled
in OES 2.
