Well, the randomness generator in 1.3.6 is brand new, and 1.3.x may have more portability problems than 1.2.x. But besides that, I think it is reasonably stable, and it should probably move on to 1.4 quite soon. > The only "problem" is that it's a little hard to find a Windows scp > client that works with lshd and scp (I replaced the lcp with scp from > ossh btw). lcp is a hack, but it works for me most of the time. Unlike scp or rcp, it doesn't require any special programs to be installed at the server end. Instead, it builds a short shell script that is passed to the server's /bin/sh. Have you had any problems with using lshd and scp, besides having to install a separately scp program? > As I expect the packages to be used by relatively clueless users > that's a bit inconvenient.

It's reported to work, but I haven't used it myself. Pontus Sköld have also written a nice sftp client, for now called "lsftp", which should be integrated with the lsh distribution at some time.
