If nobody has answered yet, you put the word secure behind a few of the lines in /etc/ttys under Pseudo terminals: ttyp0 none network ttyp1 none network becomes ttyp0 none network secure ttyp1 none network secure then kill -1 1 to activate that. As for a free windows ssh client I suggest TeraTerm with the ttssh plugin which is found easily via a websearch.
