thanks for the help regarding key generation with lshd. running the commads directly appear to have worked just fine.
however, i am still unable to connect to my bering box. i use putty from a windoze machine, and on attempting to connect i get i get the following: "internal fault: chaos in in the ssh 2 transport layer" followed by: "connection closed by remote host" i (appear) to have valid public/private keys in /etc (lsh_host_key). i have the host.allow file set up, as well as shorewall. i also changed inetd.conf and pointed ssh at /usr/sbin/lshd. is there something i am missing in setting up lshd. i noted a number of options with 'lshd--help", but i am uncertain if i need any of them, and what they should be. thanks again. ted ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: ObjectStore.
