Funny, I could swear it used to run under 4.3-STABLE, but I guess the recent version of 4.4-STABLE has a better OpenSSH. Anyway, now I'm getting a message, "Couldn't load public key from C:\usr\roger\.ssh\identity.pub", so it required my password and then connected me. So this is now an issue on my Windoze machine, as that's the location of my public key file. But PuTTY can't load it? -- Roger To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
