  1. Update netservices.md and installation-guide (#542) 

    * Update netservices.md
Add telnetd section, update wording, add clarifications, and switch steps to GUI as the services config file does not contain those items anyways unless you manually enable the services via the GUI.

* edits to netservices.md and installation guide
To match the partition sizes from the Beta 3 release notes and add a note about 64-bit.

<h3>Preparing a Partition for Haiku</h3>

<p>Currently, Haiku cannot resize existing partitions; therefore, you either need to already have an empty partition where you can install Haiku, or you need to create one using a third party tool. If your current OS comes with a partitioning tool, try to use that. Otherwise, you can use specialized tools like the freely available <a href="http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php">GParted LiveCD</a>. A standard install of Haiku requires about 700MB of disk space, so the partition doesn't need to be huge. However, you may want to leave some room for stuff, so 2GB may be an appropriate partition size.</p>

Otherwise, you can use specialized tools like the freely available <a href="http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php">GParted LiveCD</a>. A standard 32-bit install of Haiku requires about 1.3 GiB of disk space (64-bit install is about double), so the partition doesn't need to be huge. However, you may want to leave some room for stuff, so 3 GiB+ is the recommended partition size.</p>

<p>Whenever your disk has multiple partitions, you will also need a boot loader such as <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html">GRUB</a> to be able to boot into Haiku (and any other systems that you may have installed in the remaining partitions). In some cases, it is also possible to use the Haiku Boot Manager.</p>

The basic installation of Haiku contains several standard system network services including an FTP, Telnet, and SSH server.

Haiku's default hostname is shredder. If shredder doesn't resolve, you can simply launch the

<h3>ftpd - an FTP server daemon</h3>
<h3>ftpd - FTP server daemon</h3>
Haiku can easily be made to listen for incoming FTP connections to serve its files.

<h4>Start ftpd at boot</h4>
<p>Haiku will automatically start its FTP server daemon at boot if you remove the comment hashes (#) from the service ftp section of /boot/system/settings/network/services.
DISCLAIMER: ftpd does not support SFTP or FTPS so network traffic is unencrypted.

<h4>Start ftpd manually</h4>
<p>To start the FTP server daemon manually, simply execute ftpd.</p>
<p>To start the FTP server open the Network preferences, select **`FTP server`** from its list of services and click **`Enable`**.</p>

<h3>telnetd - Telnet server daemon</h3>
Haiku can easily be made to listen for incoming telnet connections.

<h3>sshd - the secure shell daemon</h3>

<p>To start the Telnet server open the Network preferences, select **`Telnet server`** from its list of services and click **`Enable`**.</p>

<h3>sshd - Secure shell daemon</h3>
SSH is a network protocol that allows for data to be exchanged using a secure channel between two networked devices. The most common use is shell access.

Starting the SSH server daemon in Haiku is easy:
The SSH server daemon is set to start automatically on a default Haiku install, but it does not allow connections until configured.
<ol>
<li>Add the SSH server user: <pre class="terminal">useradd sshd</pre></li>
<li>Edit /system/settings/ssh/sshd_config and add the following option: <pre class="terminal">PermitRootLogin yes</pre></li>
<li>Start the SSH server daemon: <pre class="terminal">/boot/system/bin/sshd</pre></li>
<li>Edit /system/settings/ssh/sshd_config, uncomment the following option, and set the value to yes: <pre class="terminal">PermitRootLogin yes</pre></li>
<li>Restart Haiku or kill the existing sshd process.</li>
</ol>

After starting sshd, we should now be able to verify that the daemon is indeed running:
We should now be able to verify that the daemon is indeed running:
<pre class="terminal">ps | grep sshd | grep -v grep

In the example above, sshd has the process id of 237 and is running. We can now connect to Haiku with the username of 'user' and the password which you set at the beginning of this article:
