Thanks to all who replied. Next question, how do I give my users similar
functionality when connecting to me from a remote location via secure shell.
I am using Openssh which comes with OpenBSD and am trying to determing the
best client for my Windows NT remote users to connect with. I need to give
them access to files that reside on our NT servers and since we are a
military installation they won't allow me to simply setup a VPN(Very
Antiquated Mentality Here).
Thanks
Elliott

Hmm -- SSH is *not* an official IETF protocol. There are drafts, but
none have been issued as RFCs, as best I can tell. When they are
issued, they'd likely be "Proposed Standards".
