Suso,
    I untarred the ssh.tar.gz files.  Then I ran the commands
./configure, make, and make install.
Next I ran ssh-keygen.  However, I really do not see what all this is
supposed to do.  I read the help files and am still a little lost to
say.  Am I not correctly installing ssh, and/or is there other steps
that must be done.  Also, I did all this as root, put the keys in
/root/.ssh/nkidd (wasn't sure of what identity was, put nkidd).  The
keys were generated.  However nothing seems different.  I logged into a
remote machine and then from that one I even logged back into my own
machine and the ssh password was never asked for?
thanks,
nick
