Am I right in thinking the bl3 ssh packet only includes client programs?


Yes. BL3 was designed to be a network client, not a server. That includes dhcp, telnet, ftp, pop3, smtp and dns. The one exception is http, for which BL3
provides both a client and a server.
BL3 doesn't even have local login, let alone a remote
login capability.

With BL1 and BL2 (which have local login), you can
use the in.telnetd executable from Slackware (it's in the tcpip1.tgz package) to provide a telnet login:
-----------------
in.telnetd -debug
-----------------
That will give you a single remote login.

However, I have never tried the above on BL3 and expect it to fail (because there's no local login capability).
If anybody decides to experiment with in.telnetd on BL3, please report back here with your findings.

What I want to do is set up a headless machine to play music in the kid's room and control it from another machine. I spent two days trying to put together a bootfloppy with everything needed but eventually gave up. I just don't have your know-how (and most of the documentation I found was hideously outdated). I've got bl3 on a 121 mega hd now and shall try adding a few packets to see where I get. Any other sggestions are welcome.

Andrew
