I went into /usr/ports/security/rsaref. Then did a make. It fetched the tarball, and compiled it. I then did a make install, which seems to install it. Tried putty, and nothing. Did I miss a step. here's what I have done: 1. enable_sshd="YES" in /etc/rc.conf. 2. when server starts, it says it makes the host keys. 3. logged in as myself. ran ssh-keygen. It prompted for passphrase and other info. it created /home/darryl/.ssh and put idenitity and idenitity.pub in that directory. 4. Installed putty on win32 box. 5. Tried connection, no joy. 6. downloaded puttygen, and created an RSA key pair on win32 box. 7. Tried connected to freebsd host, no joy. 8. ftp'd the identity.pub file to my win32 box. 9. loaded that key into putty. 10. tried connection, no joy. 11. Installed rsaref on freebsd box. 12. Tried connection, no joy. what step am I missing ? thanks, Darryl -----Original Message----- From: Kris Kennaway [mailto:kris@obsecurity.org] Sent: Monday, February 05, 2001 9:59 PM To: Darryl Hoar Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: sshd -continued On Mon, Feb 05, 2001 at 04:22:17PM -0600, Darryl Hoar wrote: > I then started putty on my win32 box, specified my sshd hostname, > and ... nothing.

On FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE you need to either install the rsaref2 port, or be using crypto from an "international" source. Due to patent restrictions which were in force at that time we couldn't ship RSA code in the base system. This was fixed with the expiry of the RSA patent in September, coinciding with the release of 4.1.1.
