Secure shell is the exclusive way to get into the secure environment of the HWW machines. Commands like telnet, ftp as well as the r-cmds are NOT allowed and therefore are rejected by the firewall.
Access to HWW platforms via ssh will definitely be restricted to ssh V2 ONLY!!

On HWW platforms the ssh software is installed. The user is responsible for installation of ssh on his platform.

The source of OpenSSH is available from

How to install ssh is described in the file INSTALL, there you'll also find a list of already tested platforms. To avoid any problems, especially in the security area, you should at least install ssh version 5.1 or later. The commands described at the beginning

./configure --disable-suid-ssh (Install ssh without suid bit)
make
make install

are sufficient in most cases. If you cannot use the ssh-client without suid-root bit for any reason, you will have to use the -P option with the ssh command and the -L option with the scp command to access HWW platforms.
