Re: Using putty as a ssh client on FreeBSD
You are trying to automatically login and either the key is bad or missing. You should try creating a new key. -Derek At 10:13 AM 8/9/2006, Josh Paetzel wrote: I'm trying to use putty on my FBSD 6.1-R box to access another FreeBSD box.

Using putty as a ssh client on FreeBSD

You will need to convert them to PuTTY format with PuTTYgen.

I know they do in the Windows version anyway. They have a tool you can use to convert your key into something putty likes. Try to find putty-keygen or something along those lines; perhaps as a separate port. I've had issues like this connecting to my FreeBSD boxes from Windows with putty, but ultimately found a way to import the BSD key into puttys format with their key-generator program. -brian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
