In the Isn't it that to decrypt 1024 key takes double the amount of CPU time than decrypting 1023 key, as long as there is no other method than brute-force method of trying every combination. IMO It is a serious security issue, when the system is half as secure and one is not notified. And the person is trying to use a ssh. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- dancer, a.k.a.
