YA SSH newbie

[GrepZen]

STATUS UPDATE
1) I couldn't find out how to disable ssh
2) ubuntu is VERY easy to install -- so I started over from scratch but
more careful.
3) while ubuntu is reinstalling on einstein, I'm going back over the
putty client on the WinXP box.. and... and --wait for it.....   VMWARE
has a virtual nic at 192.168.7.9  --- yeah that should be familiar.. it
was the IP that I had assigned to the old install of ubuntu.   please
send your flame mail directly to me.

einstein is now at .11 and running ok.  nmap shows no open ports but
ssh-agent IS running (I don't get how that can be. --but let's
continue)

the entire reason I was trying to get SSH/SSHD to run was so that I
could get some form of remote desktop functioning. (einstein will
eventualy be a headless backup server)   So I tinkered about with the
VNCservices that come with ubuntu --that I couldn't get working last
install, and they started working.

I'm still interested in getting some form of SSH/SSHD working but it's
less critical now.  I want both GUI and TERMINAL access to einstein so
will persue this. 

Mike, Troy, Imagine, et al  -- Thank you very much for your time w/ me
and this issue.  If it's not obvious.. you were all helpful.  --thanks
guys!
