Hello, my long-term intention is to write a cross-platform GUI-authpf-client without using libssh or libssh2. Before I get into that I'd like to simulate the ssh-connection/authentication via netcat. I took a look at the RFCs but don't get it working. % nc 127.0.0.1 22 SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.2 SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.2 <-- entered by me ... a lot of text ... What do I enter now to authenticate? My attempts resulted in "Packet corrupt". regards, jake
