There is a SSPI client-only protocol that works under linux, so they can connect directly with sspi. SSH server requires an SSH server on the server (sounds redundant...), which isn't perfect or trivial under Windows. Search the archives here (isn't there a wiki page for this yet?). I've read that OpenSSH is a good place to start if you want to proceed. > > 2- It seems that clients that run on Win9x systems use non-encrypted > communication when connecting through sspi.

Win9x systems aren't as secure--but I think you might run into that trouble with the Linux SSPI client as well??? Note that you can also run CVSNT from a Linux box, which has an SSH server typically installed by default and works out-of-the-box. -- Glen Starrett
