Re: [expert] Installing OpenSSH, Zlib, and OpenSSL
:~nifty, :~does this has any implications for VNC? AFAIK, Every program you start from your X-session will still be a doughter process of ssh-agent. terminals, additional X-sessions... However, AFAIK ssh|scp|slogin are the only programs which make use of the RSA private/public key authentication found in ~/.ssh dir. If you want a secure conection with VCN, you will have to tunnel it trough a secure channel as described here: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/sshwin.html By the way, ssh-tunneling is a great tool: basically it can crypt ANY kind of communication bgetween two machines, withouth changing a thing in a program used to comunicate! cu Denis -- - Dr. Denis Havlikhttp://www.ap.univie.ac.at/users/havlik Mandrakesoft||| e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Quality Assurance (@ @)(private: [EMAIL PROTECTED]) ---oOO--(_)--OOo-

Hi List, What an very good idea, I sure am glad you thought of it! :) More importantly shared it with me and the list. The link was very good too.

Re: [expert] Installing OpenSSH, Zlib, and OpenSSL
Hi List, Wow, Denis that sounds incredible! I will be very interested in that new and exciting feature soon. First I want to accomplish a good, basic configuration of my system, every day I am a little closer. I haven't yet began to configure any of my daemons which I am naturally the most excited about and looking forward to.

Re: [expert] Installing OpenSSH, Zlib, and OpenSSL
I got the RPMs. Just do it! ( you really need it.) rpm -i ssh* That's it.
