when i try this:

ssh -l drobb102 neors.cat.cc.md.us

i get this:

Warning: server lies about size of server public key: actual size is 1151 bitsvs. announced 1152
Warning: this may be due to an old implementation of ssh.
respond_to_rsa_challenge: public key < host key 1024 + SSH_KEYBITS_RESERVED 128

than it kicks me back to the command line...

does it mean that the computer im connecting to needs to update they're ssh?

i can ssh to my own computer.....like this:

ssh -l "mylogin" "my routers ip"

my router shares my cable access to multiple computers...and i have it configured to forward port 22 to my linux box....

any ideas about the above stated problem? :confused:

Your SSHD config file probably lists your server key as being one size, when in actuality it's another size. Edit the SSHD config file and fix it.
