Here is a mystery, at least to me.
My firewall machine, moshe, is running RH7.2 updated.
All the remote services are disabled and iptables accepts packets
for port 222 so I can remotely connect with ssh.
The sshd service, openssh server 3.1, is running.
I want to connect from a Windows box elsewhere on the internet.
I have been using putty (1/14/2002) and WinSCP 2.0beta.
Using sneaker-net with the diskette to install the keys in the linux
users ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file, then I try to connect.
Using the keys generated by putty-gen, then I get a message from
logining in that the key is rejected and a prompt for a password,
not the prompt for the key passphrase. AND then it lets me login.
WHAT IS HAPPENING?
TIA !! Larry :-)
