It helped me to remember that the client generates the keys and puts the public key(s) on the (sshd) server. Also that ssh2 DSA is sufficient if you have it; I think the rest is for historical support. But I'm getting off topic. Here's some helpful URLs. www.tac.nyc.ny.us/kim/ssh/ good ssh tutorial www.openssl.org/support/faq.cgi OpenSSL FAQ www.oreilly.com/catalog/sshtdg/chapter/ O'Reilly book www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/sshvnc.html vnc ssh If you're interested, I can email you a crude bash script you can run on the client that will setup the first user on both client & server. -- Richard V.
