This is what put me off looking into this in the first place. What encryption system is best? RSA or DSA? I know that OpenSSH uses two different systems to manage keys. Is system 1 and 2 referring to RSA and DSA encryption respectively or is there more to it? BTW, thanks Ian, the IBM articles were very good and I imagine the links should fill in any blanks. I was just curious as to what other people were using. I am only managing one server but from multiple locations so being able to use the same public key from different machines is cool as long as I have the passphrase.
