Out of curiosity, has anyone been able to get even this much (connecting and crypto) working under FreeBSD (preferably 2.2.8)? I haven't had time to play with it enough to figure out why, but the server daemon dies whenever I try to connect to it. A friend of mine is starting his own small business, and needs unencumbered, encrypted logins, with or without password. Also, under FreeBSD, and possibly other BSD variants, you do have access to openpty, but it's not detected, since it's in libutil, which isn't detected by the autoconfiguration (modifying the autoconfig is way beyond me at this time, so if someone else wants to make the mod, I'll give what help I can).
