debian-newbe problems w. ssh & .profile

[Oliver <oliver@lafco.de>]

Hi folks,
I just installed debian, and that´s why I installed debian, makes me 
trouble now;) !

I have to setup ssh, to use it with the windows TTSSH client. This only 
understands
ssh < 1.5, so I decided to use protocol 1. Also I have an old server, which 
also understands
P1.
I changed Protocol (etc/ssh/sshd_config) to 1,2 and restarted sshd.
I got the message ...: sshd Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key
Disabling protocol version1
Ok, lets make a key 'ssh-keygen' but now the problem starts.
It just shows me a lot of options :-X
Could anybody point me how to make a protocol 1 key ?


I´d like to set up '.profile' to have some commands be aliased.
so I made a .profile in the /root directory. But it will not be read, or
maybe not interpreted correct when I log in as root.
BTW I would like to have a .profile for every user on the system.
Can one also point me in the right direction ?

Thanks In advance
Oliver
