8/18    I stole the jar for the MindTerm Java SSH client off Soda a
        long time ago and it has always worked fine.  Now, out of the
        blue i'm getting the mesg.:
        "Found prieinstalled 'known_hosts' file.

        Error connecting to http://me.net, reason:
        -> -l

        I have NOT changed the server key and there is no file on the
        client called "known_hosts"  Someone please tell me where the
        java ssh client keeps it's known host_file or speculate on
        what might be wrong.
        \_ You are the weakest link... goodbye.
        \_ Just a crazy guess here: did you add a file named "known_hosts"
           to your system lately?
            \_ there is NO file on the client called "known_hosts". There are
               no new known_hosts files on the server.
               Both clients that fail are running win2k recently updated to
               SP2.  A new install of netscape on the same machine works AND
               the same iexplorer that fails to <DEAD>my.net<DEAD> WORKS on SODA! It is
               the same damn code!  Unless the java ssh client has a "known_
               hosts" file that it is called something else on the client, and
               which has a corrupted entry for <DEAD>my.net<DEAD>, and which is different
               for iexplorer and netscape, i can't think of where to look.
               \_ Its a windows box, have you tried looking in the registry
                  yet?
        \_ Get a real operating system.

8/20    I'm having a hard time figuring out some of the math behind
        diffe-hellman. The "key", pardon the pun, to the security of
        dh seems to be is that calculating g**(x*y) mod n is hard
        for an attacker.  Say x and y are small, less than 1024,
        couldn't an attacker just precompute all possible K (and K')
        based on n and g and then do a table lookup based on the X
        and Y values that are exchanged to get K (or K')?
        It seems to me that you need to make x and y quite large to
        have any sort of confidence that K and K' are secure. BUT,
        a large x and y means the compute time per key exchange is
        exteremely long. What are commonly used upper bounds on x
        and y?
        Sorry, if my questions are exteremely simple, I don't have
        a good handle on this material yet.

        any ideas?
