that account in less than a minute, grabbing your private key, checking

THe key length is irrelevant if you're sending your private key over the
wire. Nothing needs to be cracked if they get your private key.

you need a passord to use the private key... hmm...I thought you guys
were talking about hacking the password out of the private key.
that's dictionary hack, I believe, which may be easier.

let me try to publish the public key instead.
I forgot whether puttygen.exe could produce the private key from the
public key. I need to use the private key to connect to my linux's
openssh.
I could buy a cheap 64M USB storage to keep my own key. but it would be
nice to put it inside my mobile
my flaw. no way to generate private key out of the public key.
yes, I indeed didn't quite comprehend the maths involved in RSA.
still looking for an easy and safe way to access the private key safely
from my linux remotely... which sounds like a chicken-and-egg problem
with security.

I don't think you understand the concept of a private key if you're
emailing all over creation.

I don't carry any USB storage device. I prefer to get everything from
the net, including my private key. :)

That I can't say. Since I went over to Slackware, I've been tarballing

No. Since when do you upgrade a package by removing it? SUrely you mean
rpm -Uvh openssh.

I haven't tried that, but have frequently done an ``rpm -U'' on running
systems on ssh without difficulties. I manually killed off the master sshd
process, and started a
how could one upgrade openssh if openssh is the only remote shell
available on a linux server? I always fell back to telnet when I needed
to update openssh.

Well, obviously its a bad idea, but why can't you fall back to telnet now?
At any rate, i think until you HUP the daemon, it will continue to run
while its being upgraded. At least the newer versions do.
