[olug] openssh

[Aaron Grothe]

Hey,

Speaking of weire.  I'm currently writing the OpenSSH howto.  You can see a
really early draft of it at

http://cran.seul.org/~anand/linux/openssh.shtml

This is largely the work of one of the co-authors and is still really early.
I'll mail out a pointer to the more complete OpenSSH howto when it is ready for
review.

Regards,

Aaron
