using ssh

After groping about for a long time, i have now realised that the best thing suited for what i am trying to do is "ssh"
I still have a problem. I have downloaded the tar-ball and correctly installed it on both my machines. I am still not able to log into my cluster machine through my slave.

Here are the details:
server machine :
IP : 192.168.1.100
Hostname : linux
Domain : site

Client machine:
IP : 192.168.1.10
Hostname : machine1

And what exactly should i type at the client machine to log into the server machine.?
This is what I have tried so far :
# ssh [email protected]
didnt work
# ssh [email protected]
didnt work
and some other combinations. still no positive result.

remote access as root is often turned off by default. Check your settings or try a user account.

yup.
log in as a regular user and su for admin tasks is the recomended implementation. it maintains the security.
