The point of SSH is its cryptographic code, and thus cannot be exported from the US. That doesn't mean it can't be imported _to_ the US, though. That's what the non-us means. > Secondly, I log on to the site below and found: > > non-free/ > ssh-askpass-nonfree > ssh-nonfree > > main/ > ssh > ssh-askpass > ssltelnet > telnet-ssl > telnetd-ssl > > what are all these and which should I use to replace > telnet/telnetd on the Debian and yet allow windows/NT > user to login securely. main/ssh is all you need. It contains the server and the client. I don't know if there is a telnet-ssl client for NT, so you might want to look for that and if you find one, give telnet-ssl and telnetd-ssl a try. I really don't know how they work or what's available for NT, though. On your NT machine, install PuTTY http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ or play with the patch I pointed you to in an earlier email.
