Hmm, I tried building both openssl and openssh from source, having rsaref installed, and AFAICT (I´m not a programmer, only a lowly network engineer ;) ) openssl is built with RSA-support, as is then openssh. But I still can´t find any "rsa" or similar cipher. But it´s quite possible that I bang my head against the wrong walls. I´ve put the compilation logs on http://www.waldner.priv.at/ssh/ to avoid unnecessary list traffic, but if someone would care to help me, I´d be most grateful <shy grin> TIA, &rw -- / Ing.
