The US has strange laws which restrict the export of cryptographic code. The point of SSH is its cryptographic code, and thus cannot be exported from the US. That doesn't mean it can't be imported _to_ the US, though. That's what the non-us means. > Secondly, I log on to the site below and found: > > non-free/ > ssh-askpass-nonfree > ssh-nonfree > > main/ > ssh > ssh-askpass > ssltelnet > telnet-ssl > telnetd-ssl > > what are all these and which should I use to replace > telnet/telnetd on the Debian and yet allow windows/NT > user to login securely. main/ssh is all you need. It contains the server and the client. I don't know if there is a telnet-ssl client for NT, so you might want to look for that and if you find one, give telnet-ssl and telnetd-ssl a try. I really don't know how they work or what's available for NT, though. On your NT machine, install PuTTY http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ or play with the patch I pointed you to in an earlier email.
