Hi Jules,


     Try the following if you are using 4.1.2 as a couple of entries need to be added to the /etc/ssh/sshd.conf for SSH2 to work. Things are fine in 4.1.1 so no need to do anything if that is what you are using.

  You should have the following three HostKey lines in /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
 
  HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key
  HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
  HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
 
  e-smith 4.1.2 is missing the DSA entry and maybe the RSA (can't remember) this problem came about w/OpenSSH 2.05 updates.
 
  The preferred way to correct this is not by adding these lines directly to the config file but by adding a new fragment in the e-smith template directory. Create new fragment 20HostKeyRSA  like 20HostKeyDSA.  Now your SSH2 protocol should be accepted.

Can I replace OpenSSH with ssh2.4 from www.ssh.com ?

using OpenSSH i get an error when trying to open a file transfer window (from windblows) ' Failed to open a secure file transfer session) . I know it is because i have open ssh and not the other from www.ssh.com .. Is it ok to install the other ssh (www.ssh.com) without crapping things up ??
