The latest snapshot, http://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/archive/lsh-snapshot-19980926.tar.gz, is able to connect, do a diffie-hellman key exchange, establish encryption and authentication (using rc4 and hmac(sha1)), and finally send a debug packet across the encrypted channel. I think this can be considered the first milestone on the path towards a working lsh. I haven't yet checked if it interoperates with DataFellow's ssh-2. (I don't even know if DataFellows ssh-2 supports anything but 3des, which is the only crypto required by the draft rfc). If you're curious, you can run the programs with $ lshd -v -d -p 4711 and $ lsh -v -d -p 4711 localhost The debug and verbose flags are of course optional. Right now, I'm quite busy moving to Stockholm, so don't expect any quick responses from me for the next one or two weeks (although I'll try to read my mail regularly). Happy hacking, /Niels
