As a few of you have reported, there was quite a fatal bug in
lsh-1.0.4 that prevented the client from connecting, it died with the
message "Invalid ssh-dss key". The following patch seems to fix the
problem:
--- parse.c 2000/09/03 17:11:39 1.29
+++ parse.c 2000/09/10 23:08:49

I think it is best to regard 1.0.4 (with or without this patch) as a
work-in-progress release.
