That is realistically the bare minimum that ssh will do for you. If there are ANY versions that work, they will have the ability to have a terminal connection to an sshd process on the server machine you are connecting to. Where differences will start cropping up is in the types of encryption that are available, the level of automation using keys (whether you can use a null passphrase key to connect without a password), etc. It sounds like ssh1 is available, while ssh2 is questionable. This is not exactly a problem, but ssh2 would be desireable if possbile because of enhancements it its security model. -- David Rock [EMAIL PROTECTED]
