Hi,

Thank you very much for the info, i am finding wu-ftpd 2.6.1 with the
patch applied as a decent server :) it has got guest-chroot and access
control in the /etc/ftpaccess file and the setup works fine (or so it
seems!). also, scp seems to be a good alternative and i am trying it
out.=20

I am ending with another question - ssh seems to be easy to setup with
normal passwod-based authentication - set it up, generate a key and use
puTTY to login :) but the authentication based on other s/key,
challenge/response, and kerberos etc seems to be a huge task!=20

the documentation and stuff i could find from the net is not that
illuminating. could you suggest some good references please? and some
good sites to learn about cryptography too - (this part seems a bit good
but hard - what with all the talk of 128-bit, RSA, MD5 etc!)

thanks in advance,
Hareesh.

1.) this is fairly common with the default installation.  however, if
you
are
using shadow passwords (and i ***HIGHLY*** reccommend it), the
/etc/passwd
file is useless, except to have list of users and some info about them
