I've been googling most of the day. I have been downloading files to "a" and
scp'ing them to "b" and trying to install them only to be met by dependency
problems at every turn. I kept getting deeper and deeper ... that's why I
posted for some help. Thanks bunches to ALL the folks who offered up
suggestions even if they weren't the full answer this time. I will be going
back over them in the near future to apply your knowledge to my situation and
to become a better admin. I am, indeed, grateful to be a member of not only
SLUG, but also a couple of other LUG's. You guys (and the occaisional gal!)
are the greatest!

And the lucky wiener is:
Thanks!
[root@b /root]# cat /etc/hosts.allow
#
# hosts.allow This file describes the names of the hosts which are
# allowed to use the local INET services, as decided
# by the '/usr/sbin/tcpd' server.
#
ALL : 192.168.1. <--- was empty
#
[root@b /root]#
The above is via ssh from box a to box b. Success. I may make this a bit more
restrictive in the future but it is working for now. Also rebooted it
remotely and logged in from "a" without having a login on "b" yet. All this
is new territory to me. I tried it way back at RH5.2 but didn't have enough
clues yet to pull it off. Now ... with help ... I can.
Aren't computers fun?
I'm building the second box to be a headless web server and needed a way to
administer it remotely. Now I have ssh. Webmin (https://192.168.1.101:10000)
bails out with "Connection closed by remote server". My guess is that I need
to convince Apache that I am an okay kinda guy.
Not having to twiddle with the KVM sure is a big help.
