    Hey, all;

    Here's the situation:

    * I've installed and configured F-secure ssh ver 3.2.0 (build 7) for
    a client as I did for their parent organization. Everything works,
    everything's great.

    * I use openssh on my Linux laptop and am able to connect w/o issue
    after converting my public keys to ssh2 format.

    * The client has decided to go with SecureCRT on their Windows systems.
    The format of the key seems the same as the standard ssh2 format. When
    I transfer the key up to a server, I cannot authenticate using
    the public key using either RSA or DSA algorithms.

    * I can convert the SecureCRT key to openssh, then back to ssh2 format -
    that works. After I send the SecureCRT->openssh->SSH2 key up to
    the server I am able to authenticate using public keys.

    Is this a known issue and, more importantly, does anyone know a
    work around to it? As far as I know, I am the only one w/openssh
    here. Although I would like the job security, I'm really not looking
    forward to converting public keys for the rest of my career...

    Thanks for any hints/tips/suggestions.
