ssh and PuTTY Configuration
I'm trying to configure PuTTY . . .running on a Windoze box to connect to FreeBSD. The PuTTY Configuration asks for a "Private key file for authentication", for example, E:\user\XYZ\ssh\id_rsa . . .simply a path to a file on the Windoze box.
Given the contents of the .\id_rsa file similar as follows (I've intentionally omitted and altered data for this example):
. . .I don't know exactly what the PuTTY system is looking for ...just that it's not connecting. Should the id_rsa file in the Windoze directory be edited to include only the key string as I've indicated in red, or include the Proc-Type and DEK-Info strings, too. Additionally, should the line feeds at the end of each line in the key string be removed? Thanks, RW |

The key format used by PuTTY is not compatible with OpenSSH. PuTTY has an utility to do the conversion.
I don't remember the name, so you have to do some searching or wait for a kind soul to tell you

I found a PuTTY home site with extensive documentation. I'll read-up.
Thanks again, RW |

PuTTY Resources
Here are a few resources that I've found useful:
I've downloaded puttygen.exe and apparently it successfully converted the results of $ ssh-keygen -b 1024 -t rsa . Regardless, I still cannot get the PuTTY session to negociate with the (restarted) sshd. The PuTTY log on the Windoze box as follows: Apparently from what I've read, the (FreeBSD) server is not responding, acknowledging, or negotiating with the Windoze client. I've just about run out of ideas. I've attached the sshd_config file. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Ron W. |
