I have ssh2 up and running happily on all three of them. I also need to interact with a number of other systems that I do not manage, one a Dec Alpha running its native unixoid thing, and the other a Sun of some sort running Solaris. Both have ssh1 daemons (old sshd) running. However, when I try to ssh1 to either of them, I get a message RSA key has too many bits for RSAREF to handle (max 1024). Trying to connect with the -v switch gives me (buried in 'mongst lots of other stuff) some lines that read: : Waiting for server public key. : Received server public key (1152 bits) and host key (1024 bits). : Host 'blah.foo.com' is known and matches the host key. : Initializing random; seed file /home/xyzzy/.ssh/random_seed RSA key hast too many bits for RSAREF to handle (max 1024). So... is this my problem? Is it the server's problem? Do I need something special in a config file? Do i need a different RSA library? Thanks for any help. (Just to give some positive feedback to whomever wants it, I've been using FreeBSD since before it was FreeBSD. I love it more with every release. I feel great satisfaction ever time I discover that the driver I contributed long ago for a piece of obsolete equipment is still part of the distribution. Thank you all for all the work you do to make this a lively and ever more wonderful project.) Paul L.
