I had this trouble, too, until I upgraded to SecureCRT 3.4, which supports the key file. If you are using anything less than 3.4, it won't work with the file format of the key. "OpenSSH key format support: SecureCRT 3.4 now support the OpenSSH private and public key formats for greater interoperability" from http://www.vandyke.com/products/securecrt/features_1.html HTH, Michael Oliver -----Original Message----- From: Lord Raiden To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Sent: 2/11/2002 3:08 AM Subject: SSH and SecureCRT Ok, I'm to the point where I'm beyond stumped on this. I've been playing with this, but I'm unsure of how to attack this. I'm trying to setup one of our boxes to be as limited access as possible without totally locking it down, and one of the things we're doing is to limit who has open SSH access to the box. I'm using Marty Schlacter's firewall building guide (http://www.schlacter.net:8500/public/FreeBSD-STABLE_and_IPFILTER.html) as a reference for setting up my rules to do just that. His rules setup SSH in such a way that either you have the private key on your system, or the SSHD won't accept any connections from you. I like that. SO instead of the machine advertising its DSA keys to the world, only those who I want to connect to the computer can, and only via SSH. Now here's my problem. I'm currently using SecureCRT 3.x as our SSH client and I'm beyond stumped as to how to get it to set the private key for that connection so I can use it to connect to the server while locking out those who I don't want to have access. SecureCRT has a section for a public key, nothing for a private key, and I can't get it to take the DSA key that I have for the system and use it. Anyone know how to do this or do I need to resort to using a different program if this one won't do that? Thanks for the help.
