This is probably a really dumb question but Do I generate a key with puTTY.exe under SSH-->auth-->Private key file for authentication? If so can I use any type of file?

You do need a key; you'll have to generate one on the client, and then transfer the *public* key to the server. If you plan to allow only SSH access, then you should also change the password field for your account on the server to "*SSH*" (sans quotes). This will need to be in the shadow file if you have one; easiest and safest way to mess is to "pwunconv" first, edit /etc/passwd, then "pwconv". _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list *********************************************************************** This message is a private communication.
