From a shell (or a terminal) start zast or yast (SuSE configuration tool).

1. Start the package tool (in SuSE 7.3 named "package management").
2. Goto change or create configuration.
2. Goto "sec" security related software.
3. Add package OpenSSH.
4. press F10 to save
5. press F10 to save (again)
6. Goto Start installation.

7. After installation press esc until the packagemanager starts to update your configuration then after exit YaST.

1: edit /etc/inetd.conf and comment (# at the beginning) out the lines that have telnet listed.
2: edit /etc/services and do the same thing.
Restart the server so that all keys automatically will be created for you (easiest way) .

Hope this will help..
