I haven't figured out which files are required for the server.
But when I try to compile everything, 73 files compile with
no errors. Something like 30 files do not compile. I consider
this pretty good. I can send a copy of the errors to anyone
who wants to see them. (It is probably too big to send to the
e-mail list.)

I second the vote for tera term pro. I use it all the time. It already
has one SSH add-on for ssh1.

We are building a "cluster" type system that will run on both Win/NT
and Linux. We want an ssh deamon to run on each box to remotely
start programs. When you have 100 boxes, you really don't want to
login on all of them.

We use MSVC to develope C++ code. We also use cygwin to access
our favorite UNIX tools under Windows.

Actually I have been using Windows for about 4 years. Before that I used
UNIX for 15 years at Bell Labs. I haven't a clue how security is done
under
Windows. Where are the logins and passwords kept? In the registry?
Is it enough to be Administrator (aka root) to "su" to someone else?
The online documentation that comes with "MSDN Library" is very
extensive.
