Well, for starters you probably want to uninstall Tectia (the ssh.com
software you installed) and use OpenSSH, unless you're planning to
purchase their software.

The "Tectia" licensing states that you can use their software for
non-commercial or student use. That's what I am - a grad student.

I also believe I read somewhere that openSSH was a bit behind the
curve, so I concluded that, while openSSH was heading in the right
direction, the "better" software install at the current time was
Tectia.

You've mistaken the protocol version you happen
to be using (which can be changed by simple configuration) with the
software version.

Was there some way to avoid that mistake?
