Helping your eyes with SSH

By using SSH you can log in from another system and this will not only help you eyes but also means you can just cut an paste the commands.

To get SSH installed do this:

mount /mnt/cdrom
cd /mnt/cdrom/Fedora/RPMS
rpm -Uvh dhclient*
cd /
dhclient
yum install openssh-server

Now you need to start it, this can be done with the following command:

service sshd start

You can check if it's running by typing:

pgrep sshd

If it's running it'll display the process ID of the ssh server.

You'll now need to find out the IP number of the PS3, once you've done that you can go into another computer, open a terminal and SSH into the PS3. The command you need is:

ssh -l root IPnumber

The -l root option makes sure you are logging in as root, if you don't use these your system may default to using the user you are using on the other computer, it did this with the Mac I had SSH'd from (when you switch to a user account later you'll need to change to -l root to -l your_username).

You'll be prompted for the root password and it should then log you in.
