    I'm not poking fun at you, but I'm not sure why you're having such "issues"
    with OpenSSH. When I used the RH package selector to install the RPM, it
    installed and auto-configured itself auto-magically.

    When you installed the RPM, did it generate the host key files? There
    should be the following key files in /etc/ssh:

    ssh_host_dsa_key
    ssh_host_dsa_key.pub
    ssh_host_key
    ssh_host_key.pub
    ssh_host_rsa_key
    ssh_host_rsa_key.pub

    As for PuTTY, which I use, make sure your PuTTY connection is set to use the
    SSH protocol and not Telnet, which is the default.

    I could send you all of my various sshd config files, but I'm not sure if
    that would do any good.

    Hi

    I have been googling and have found minimal docs on configuring the ssh.
    I have managed to configure the sshd_config with the listen IP.
    I have downloaded the openssh server rpm and installed it.
    I am using putty to connect to the server, and I am unable to do so.

    Any good docs on configuring the server?

    Yes, you need the telnet-server RPM.

    Of course, I would always recommend that you run SSH instead, since telnet
    opens up a big security hole.
