After installation I ran the program called ssh-keygen to generate a key. Each user will have to do this and it can be done anywhere. Went ot the /etc directory and edited rc.config to make sure that ssh would automatically start on startup. Then ran SuSEconfig. Found out that it does the final section of the install on startup, now it works fine. The command I use to log onto another host that is setup for ssh is similer to this: h 192.168.0.1 It will mention mention about adding this host to your key, which I accepted. Then it will ask for your password. If you want to log onto the host with a particuler user I believe its something like this: h user@192.168.0.1 Hope that helps.

Man is this a pain in the butt or what... I've been attempting to get ssh up and running and can't seem to grasp it. If I'm understanding it correctly, I need sshd running on my server in order for clients to connect. I suppose I need to install a client as well (on server). I did install sshd2 from the SuSE ftp site and I have had it running but have yet to get anything to connect to it. I'm trying to use Nifty telnet (the secure version on Mac) but I believe it's ssh1. SO... how do set up ssh2 to support both 1 and 2? Do I need 1 and 2 both running on my server? and what do I do about making a key? (do I put it in my home directory?)

If you get the tgz packge from www.ssh.com it gives detailed instructions on how to setup the ssh2 server to accept both version 1 and 2 clients. I don't know if that info is in the /usr/doc/pakages/ssh that comes with the suse rpm.
