Hello Dan, The plain password means use the local system account passwords from the server where sshd is running and is sent encrypted. On the server you could use skey for stronger passwords or even the tis-auth server for other options. So my interpretation is no clear text passwords are sent. I thought the key was generated by ssh-keygen on the server and then you copy it to the client and set ttsh up to use it. As to rhosts, I would not consider that very secure and do not use it. I use ipfw rules with no ip forwarding and have had good success with ssh, sshd on FreeBSD. Using port forwarding from the ttsh client on Windows 95 or NT client also works very well :) Michael Williams Software Dynamics mailto:sdynamic@xtra.co.nz http://www.voyager.co.nz/~michaelw ph: 025 995914 ph: +64 9 2744876 -----Original Message----- From: Dan Langille <junkmale@xtra.co.nz> To: security@freebsd.org <security@freebsd.org> Date: Thursday, June 24, 1999 7:43 AM Subject: ssh from windows I have sshd running on my box.
