ssh 1 and two public key trouble
« on: June 02, 2001, 06:25:54 PM »
Dear all,
using esmiht 4.1 I am trying to use ssh.

Using putty and mindterm I can get in using ssh1 and ssh2 with passwords. I can also get in via ssh1 and public key. To do this I made the file /root/.ssh/authorized_keys and put the root.pub in it (the public keyfiles form user root)

This works fine. But when I make a ssh2 keyfile and add it to this authorized_key file it does not work. Any ideas?

Also I am wondering if this is the best way to get pop-mail encrypted to and from the box? I am using ssh because i hope, havent tested it yet, that I can forward mail to and from another box on my network. This way I can ssh into my e-smith gateway and get emial from an internal server.

Can anybody tell me if this would work or if I am chasing ghost here?

greetings

hc
