FreeBSD 4.0-Release.
I went into /usr/ports/security/rsaref. Then
did a make. It fetched the tarball, and
compiled it. I then did a make install, which
seems to install it.
Tried putty, and nothing. Did I miss a step.
here's what I have done:
1. enable_sshd="YES" in /etc/rc.conf.
2. when server starts, it says it makes the host keys.
3. logged in as myself. ran ssh-keygen. It prompted
for passphrase and other info. it created /home/darryl/.ssh
and put idenitity and idenitity.pub in that directory.
4. Installed putty on win32 box.
5. Tried connection, no joy.
6. downloaded puttygen, and created an RSA key pair on win32 box.
7. Tried connected to freebsd host, no joy.
8. ftp'd the identity.pub file to my win32 box.
9. loaded that key into putty.
10. tried connection, no joy.
11. Installed rsaref on freebsd box.
12. Tried connection, no joy.
what step am I missing ?
thanks,
Darryl

On FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE you need to either install the rsaref2 port, or
be using crypto from an "international" source. Due to patent
restrictions which were in force at that time we couldn't ship RSA
code in the base system. This was fixed with the expiry of the RSA
patent in September, coinciding with the release of 4.1.1.
