Hi,

You can download HP's supported version of ssh from
http://software.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=T1471AA

Since yours is 11i, I suggest you download KRNG

The above provides a faster mechanism for generating encryption keys to be used with SSH. Otherwise you will find the initial ssh connection irritatingly slow.

A good information can be found from the FAQ here

http://www.openssh.org/faq.html

SSH can be used to automate the sessions and data transfer using 'public/private key' authentication. The following URL describes it to the best I have ever seen.

The options to ssh-keygen may vary depending on the ssh version you use.

I'm attaching a good cookbook on generating and exchanging public keys.

You can use the cat command instead of x like it says, but I use this book every time I build a new system.

Sorry to be picky, but Sridhar refers to link that describes SSH1 -- which is obsolete. A better description of how to setup SSH keys can be found at http://www.arches.uga.edu/~pkeck/ssh/, written by Paul Keck (thanks Paul).

Ben,

That was only for the understanding purposes of how ssh works. That's why I specifically mentioned
