I guess I expect it to give more information about "unknown publickey
algorithm". Does that mean it doesn't recognise the publickey I sent it,
or does it mean that it doesn't recognise the encryption with which it
was coded? Maybe some sort of detail: "You sent the following
fingerprint. XX XX XX XX. You have registered the following
fingerprints: XX XX XX XX, XX XX XX XX. No match" Right now I don't
realy understand the error message.
Sorry about that, I should've waited until I was more awake to post the
report. =)

Yes. It created a directory called ~/.lsh/authorized_keys_sha1 and
placed the 2 public keys there that I put in in some binary format. (I'm
testing with both lsh and ssh2 and being equally unloved)

Ahh.. Ok - I have the info pages installed so I'll use them from here on.

Thanks I'll try this, I just need to get Scheme and the new M4 loaded on
to subversions.
