    hey friends,

     We are going to setup one Public Server/Live Server with FC3.I wanted
    to use public key as authentication for allowed users for SSH login.

    We have one public ip address for our Lan and our Lan is behind the
    Firewall .I have few questions:

    My Network Scenario:

    Public Server Named: Machine A with public ip address.

    My Lan Gateway Named: Machine B with public ip address.

    My Lan with 25 Machines with private ip addresses {192.168.1.0}
    Machines from C to Z

    a) Is it possible to access the Public Server wtih public key
    authentication if the Lan is behind the Firewall and the machine is
    having the private ipadresses with the gateway of the Lan having
    Public Ipaddress.

    b) Now I want to access through my Lan(Machines from C to Z) the
    Machine A using Public Key authentication.Is it possible to access
    Machine A from any Machine in My Lan through Public Key Authentication
    ,If yes then how to do it and what are the problems/risks in doing
    that.

    c) I want to access Machine A from any machine .Means through any
    machine I should be able to access Machine A through Public Key
    Authentication,If yes then how to and what are the problems/risks in
    doing that.

    Currently I am using FC3 with

    openssh-3.9p1-8.0.2
    openssh-server-3.9p1-8.0.2
    openssh-askpass-3.9p1-8.0.2
    openssh-askpass-gnome-3.9p1-8.0.2
    openssh-clients-3.9p1-8.0.2

    Please let me if you need any other inputs.

    Thanks & Regards

    Ankush Grover
