Due to a recently discovered root exploit in telnetd, our Systems
Administrators have turned off Telnet access to all Virtual Servers
(FreeBSD, Solaris, and BSD/OS). We apologize for the short notice,
but due to the nature of the exploit, disabling Telnet access was
the only course of action that will ensure the integrity of the
servers. No other services were affected by this action.
We are actively working on a patch, and will inform you when the
patch is in place and Telnet access is re-enabled.
In the meantime, if command-line Virtual Server access is needed,
you can still use SSH to connect to your Virtual Servers. There are
many SSH clients that can be downloaded from the Internet, some of
which can be found at these Web sites:
Technical Staff's Recommended SSH Client
Recommended Freeware SSH Client
Macintosh SSH Clients
Other SSH Resource Sites
When choosing an SSH client, be sure to choose one that supports the
ssh1 protocol. The ssh2 protocol cannot be used to access the
Virtual Servers.
Please contact our Support Staff, at support@bluehill.com, if you
have any questions concerning this matter.
