12/20 Why is OpenSSH prefered over SSH1? Aren't all those bad ass
patented algorithms better than the free ones? Does this
mean no RSA?
\_ OpenSSH is not preferred over SSH. -tom
\_ Depends. You want code from the OpenBSD guys or from whoever?
There's no magic in the non-Open version you'll be missing out on.
\_ except working support for the SSH2 protocol and IDEA. -tom
\_ OpenSSH works just fine with IDEA, you just have to enable
it (and in OpenSSL).
\_ ssh2? Yes... and? So what? What are you doing that ssh1
isn't good enough for?
\_ Connecting from a Mac, for one. Connecting with an ssh2
client, for another. -tom
\_ OK, let's see. #1 is wrong.. I connect from a mac to
ssh1 servers all the time, and #2 is a tautology.
Boy, you're a bright one, tom.
\_ I "connect" from a Mac to ssh1 servers, but the
software available has insufficient features. And
#2 isn't a tautology if you are someone running
a system that has to be accessed remotely (such as,
just about every machine running ssh). -tom
\_ How many machines with _only_ ssh2 clients have
you worked with?
\_ I have had to install ssh2 servers so
people with only ssh2 clients could
connect. Real world. -tom |
