No, not rpms. I downloaded the tarball source and compiled it. I was never
any good at rpms so I didn't bother. I have always been told compiling
yourself, while takes longer, ensures you have the proper installation for
your machine.
Yes, I'm postive it's running. When it wasn't running I would receive
'connection refused'.
You say it will install everything in my ~/.ssh directory for me but um...
How does it know what user to do it for, does it do it for all users on my
server, I wouldn't want that.
Anyway, when connecting via SSH, I still need to send my public key from my
machine up to the server in order to make the secure connection, otherwise
it can't create the secure connection. I believe that is where my problem
lies, not in the installation of the server itself.
Since I'm not getting anywhere at the moment I will try what you suggest,
but I believe the problem is not in the installation or running but in
decyphering my public key file.
