That is how it 'knows' who to let in. Try that and let me know what happens. You should get further anyway. Pat On your pc (or on a host with ssh-keygen) you need to run ssh-keygen On Mon, 5 Jan 1998, Derek Young wrote: > Hello, I have just installed the ssh/sshd software made available from > http://gnu-win32.paranoia.ru/ , but I have not been able to get it to > work.
