David,

Aren't you supposed to use the private
key (identity) not the public key
(identity.pub) with the MindTerm client?

still no luck I am afraid here is what I
am doing to try and get this
working:

boot trinux and load both openssh and
opensshd. I then run ssh-keygen and
create the key files without a
passphrase this then creates two files
/.ssh/identity.pub and /.ssh/identity I
then copy identity.pub into
authorized_keys by typing cp
/.ssh/identity.pub
/.ssh/authorized_keys. I
then type chmod 700 /.ssh , I can now
login from the trinux machine by
typing ssh localhost -1 so I know that
SSH is up and running. I then mount a
blank floppy disk by typing mount
/dev/fd0 /mnt and copy the file
identity.pub from the /.ssh directory
onto this blank floppy, I then unmount
the floppy and load up the online
version of mindterm and click file then
connect. These are the settings I use
for mindterm:

Server: IP address of trinux box
Port: 22
Username: left blank
Authentication: Public Key
Identity: Path to identity.pub file that
I copied to floppy.

In the prefrences section the options I
use are:

Protocol: SSH1
compression: None
Bind Address ticked
Allocate PTY ticked
Local Address: 127.0.0.1

When I try to connect it says:

MindTerm home: D:\WINNT\Java\mindterm\

Warning connecting using ssh1, consider
upgrading server!

Connected to server running
SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_2.9p2
(IP address) login:

I press enter and I get the error:

Error connecting to
oxygen.tilehill.ac.uk, reason:
-> RSA key file corrupt

I have also tried the latest version of
putty and this refuses to open the
key
