This is right. Decryption of private keys is not trivial (or even standardized, generally, sigh!), and libgcrypt cannot do it. I know that GnuTLS has functionality for this, so to solve it, libssh2 would need to link to libgnutls (and more importantly, someone needs to do the work in libssh2 to implement this). /Simon > Vic > >> Perhaps there is a problem in the way you are using the >> functions?
