I'm not poking fun at you, but I'm not sure why you're having such "issues" with OpenSSH. When I used the RH package selector to install the RPM, it installed and auto-configured itself auto-magically. When you installed the RPM, did it generate the host key files? There should be the following key files in /etc/ssh: ssh_host_dsa_key ssh_host_dsa_key.pub ssh_host_key ssh_host_key.pub ssh_host_rsa_key ssh_host_rsa_key.pub As for PuTTY, which I use, make sure your PuTTY connection is set to use the SSH protocol and not Telnet, which is the default. I could send you all of my various sshd config files, but I'm not sure if that would do any good. - Christopher -----Original Message----- From: Go, Jeffrey [mailto:jeffrey.go@xxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, November 07, 2003 5:01 PM To: 'redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx' Subject: RE: Telnet Hi I have been googling and have found minimal docs on configuring the ssh. I have managed to configure the sshd_config with the listen IP. I have downloaded the openssh server rpm and installed it. I am using putty to connect to the server, and I am unable to do so. Any good docs on configuring the server? -----Original Message----- From: Rodolfo J.

Yes, you need the telnet-server RPM. Of course, I would always recommend that you run SSH instead, since telnet opens up a big security hole. -- Rodolfo J.
